Sakurajina

Sakurajima (桜島?), also romanized as Sakurashima or Sakura-jima,[1[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakurajima#cite_note-0|]]] is an active composite volcano (stratovolcano) and a former island (now connected to the mainland) of the same name in Kagoshima Prefecture in Kyūshū, Japan. The lava flows of the 1914 eruption caused the former island to be connected with the Osumi Peninsula.[
