Volcano and the deep blue sea

The city of Kagoshima is located at the end of a bay and in the bay is Sakurajima (cherry blossom island). But thanks to eruptions it is no longer an island. People live on the island, but live in a constant state of preparedness in case of a major eruption. Today is January 22, 2012 and already this year there have been more than 147 eruptions of which we witnessed at least two.
