Strong explosions are occurring at Sakurajima Volcano, Japan – NASA
Japan is really getting hammered with natural disasters right now, and they are coming from everywhere.
Volcanoes
Japan is lined with volcanoes along the Ring of Fire, which slices down the island.
The volcanoes to watch right now are (especially the volcanoes located where active earthquakes are taking place):
Japanese volcanoes along the Ring of Fire – USGS.
- Sakurajima (Kyushu)
- Kirishima (Kyushu)
- Kuchinoerabu-jima (Kyushu)
- Suwanose-jima (Ryukyu Islands)
- Kikai (Ryukyu Islands)
- Iwo-Tori-shima (Ryukyu Islands)
- Shikotsu (Hokkaido)
- Mt Fuji (Honshu)
- To-shima (Izu Islands)
- Miyake-shima (Izu Islands)

Radiation Hazard Fukushima
The 4.3 and 5.3-magnitude earthquakes at Ishikaua (listed above) struck at Fukushima on September 19, 2013 where the nuclear power plant was dangerously damaged during the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
The question everyone should ask is “why would you build a nuclear power plant ON TOP of an active earthquake zone, which sits ON TOP of the Ring of Fire?“ Almost 90 percent of the world’s earthquakes occur in this region.
The 2011 natural disaster caused three reactors to melt, and damaged a fuel cooling pool at a fourth reactor. It is confirmed that radiation-contaminated groundwater began seeping, has been seeping and is still seeping, into the Pacific Ocean since the 2011 meltdowns.
And we wonder why dead whales, dolphins, and seals are washing onto the Pacific shores? A major disaster that’s “Made In Japan.”
The Fukushima radiation leak is a global disaster “Made In Japan.”
