	Anatahan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Anatahan is one of the most active volcanoes of the Northern Mariana Islands.
		The island of Anatahan is 9 km long and has a land area of 31.21 km² (12.05 sq mi).
		Sparseness of vegetation in the most recent lava flows on Anatahan indicated that they were of holocene age, but the first historical eruption of Anatahan did not occur until May 2003, when a large explosive eruption took place forming a new crater inside the eastern caldera.

		Anatahan was thought to be extinct, having had no evidence of volcanic activity in recorded history.
		Because the Anatahan eruption was so large, it will have involved deep earth processes responsible for the generation of large amounts of magma and ash, almost certainly spewing rarely found and scientifically significant material from the Earth's mantle.
		Anatahan was also observed to have a fair amount of felsic (i.e.

	Mariana Islands - Anatahan
		Anatahan is located midway along the Mariana arc of islands, situated 53 km northwest of the Farallon de Medinilla and 37 km southwest of Sarigan.
		With an area of 32 km², Anatahan has an elongate form measuring 9 km in length (orientated west to east) and averages 3 km across (north to south).

	Anatahan, Mariana Islands
		Prehistoric volcanic activity at Anatahan has built an island about 9.5 km long and 4 km wide, consisting of two large cones linked at their summits by an elongate, roughly E-W trending depression (compound caldera of both collapse and explosive origin).
		The elongated, 9-km-long island of Anatahan consists of two coalescing volcanoes with a 2.5 x 5 km, E-W-trending summit depression formed by overlapping summit craters.
		An earthquake swarm beneath Anatahan on May 29, 1993 resulted in the islands of Anatahan, Farallon de Medinilla, and Sariguan being declared off-limits until further notice.

	Anatahan Erupted at 3
		Anatahan's volcano erupted at 3:30am yesterday morning, spewing ash and gas up to an altitude of 50,000 feet-the highest historical level ever since the volcano's first recorded eruption in March 2003.
		The ash plume resulting from the eruption was so large that it plunged the Marianas region into darkness-a semi-twilight that had motorists driving with their headlights on and people waking up thinking that it was still very early in the morning.
		Anatahan's volcano first erupted after centuries of dormancy on May 10, 2003, with ash plume rising to an altitude of over 30,000 feet that covered over 1-million-square kilometers of airspace above the Pacific Ocean.

	Anatahan: Lost Survivors of "The Island of the Living Dead" (Monograph 71) Description (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Anatahan is one of the more important and most unusual books to come out of Japanese history in English translation.
		World War II invades the tranquil nature of Anatahan when four small Japanese ships are bombed off its coast and 32 survivors make it to Anatahan's shore—at which time the only Japanese living on the island is the wife of one couple and the husband of the other.
		Yoko Hibi is an important part of the Anatahan story, but there is much more to consider and this story brings out the animalistic nature of some of those stranded, as well as the thoughtful and caring times when these people needed one another in order to survive.

	SGE 1999 abstract (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The reasons and significance of the intermittently felsic nature of Anatahan lavas may reflect either development of a mature magma chamber localized beneath Anatahan or perhaps the presence of an areally-extensive pool of felsic magma in the middle crust, similar to that inferred for the Izu arc to the north.
		Anatahan lies at the southern end of the Mariana Central Island Province and just north of the Southern Seamount Province, but it has never been clear whether these morphological subdivisions reflect different magma fluxes along the arc or are due to the island volcanoes being older than the seamounts.
		Synthesis of existing data for Anatahan and data for surrounding seamounts collected during the 2001 Cook 7 expedition and earlier cruises indicates that Anatahan is situated near the middle of an arc segment with an unusually high proportion of felsic lavas compared to typical Mariana Arc magmatic products.

		Among the islands north of Saipan, Anatahan is the second closest next to Farallon de Mendinilla.

	HawaiiNews.com: Scientists keep eye on Anatahan Volcano
		This weekend, volcanologists from USGS offices across the western United States will gather with their CNMI counterparts on Saipan to assess the impact of the activity thus far, to evaluate the types of activity that may occur if the unrest continues, and to study the potential impacts and hazards that such activity would pose.
		Because of the need for continuous monitoring of the unrest at Anatahan, and due to the time differences between Saipan and our USGS offices in Hawaii and on the US mainland, round-the-clock means were established to notify USGS staff whenever necessary.
		The level of activity could quite possibly increase abruptly, and there is a remote chance that Anatahan could erupt again in the near future with a moderate explosive eruption that could result in far-reaching eruption clouds and ash fall.

		This has to be one of the strangest films I have seen and its sheer oddity is one of the reasons I enjoyed it so immensely.
		"Anatahan" is based on the "true" story of Japanese soldiers who were shipwrecked during World War II and refused to believe that the war had ended until six years after Hiroshima.
		"Anatahan's" brand of "truth" is a precursor to more recent films like "Fargo," whose truths are meant to be taken ironically rather than as literal fact.
