It seems that an eruption occurred at the submarine volcano “Eruption Asane” near North Iwo Jima in the Ogasawara Islands.

The Japan Meteorological Agency released a volcanic eruption report today at 22:40 on Sunday, March 27. The eruption occurred around 18:00 today, and the eruption is said to have reached a height of 7,000 m above sea level (23000 FT above sea level).

Observations from the meteorological satellite Himawari have confirmed that an image that appears to be an eruption is flowing northeast.

We are also investigating the situation at the Weathernews Geographical Center. I will update it when more information becomes available.
