Aogashima Island: Living Inside an Active Volcano

Aogashima is a volcanic island located in southern Japan, 358 kilometers south of Tokyo and is part of the Izu archipelago. Aogashima is the southernmost and most isolated inhabited island that is politically and administratively part of Japan, but geographically it is not part of the Japanese archipelago. The islands border the Northeast Philippine sea and lie just north of the Japanese-ruled Bonin archipelago.
