The new lava dome stopped growing in February, 1995. The dome was named "Heisei Shinzan" (Heisei New-Mountain). |
Sketch of the lava dome
The lava dome is about 800m in north-south width, and about 1,200m in east-west. It is about 240m in height from the bottom of the original Jigokuato Crater. The top of the dome thereby became about 130m higher than that of Mt. Fugen (Fugendake). |

The top part of the clastic lava mound
As the lava spine rising up, the top part of the dome was expanded out to be basin-like. (16 Nov. 1995) |
