Yake Dake volcano, Japan Yake-dake, whose name means "Burning
Mountain," rises above the popular resort of Kamikochi in the
Northern Japan Alps. It is seen here from Taisho-ike pond to its
ENE. The small andesitic stratovolcano contains a 300-m-wide
crater at its summit, and explosion craters are found on the SE
and northern flanks. Frequent small-to-moderate phreatic
eruptions have occurred during the 20th century from both summit
and flank vents. An eruption in 1915 produced a mudflow that
created Taisho-ike pond and killed the trees in the foreground.
