Plenty of residents went out to film the eruption of Mount Aso on October 20 in Japan. They told the FRANCE 24 Observers team that – despite the impressive photos and videos of the eruption – the episode did not incite panic in a country with more than 110 active volcanoes.
Located on the island of Kyushu – the southernmost of Japan’s main islands – Mount Aso is one of the most active volcanoes in the country. The eruption took place at 11:43 am local time and was captured by a livestream camera filming from the roof of the volcano’s museum and broadcast on YouTube. The plume of ash rose up to 3.5 km above the mouth of the volcano.
The astonishing images of the eruption also made the rounds on social media networks in and outside of Japan. Filmed by residents or visitors at the popular tourist destination, the videos show a huge column of black smoke which rolls down the side of the mountain.
