Volcanic Ash Covers Japanese City
日本城市遭火山灰籠罩
Japan’s Mount Sakurajima erupted for the 500th time this year, covering a nearby city in ash. This Sunday’s eruption was the volcano’s largest in decades. The volcanic smoke plume reached as high as 5,000 meters. Residents of nearby Kagoshima city are used to the eruptions from one of Japan’s most active volcanoes. They shielded themselves from the ash and smoke by wearing masks and raincoats, and using umbrellas. No injuries were reported. Japan has also experienced extreme weather this month, including a major heat wave, dangerous landslides, and massive flooding.
