		Although the flight to Hachijojima lasted barely 30 minutes, we got a great aerial view of the Izu volcanic arc (see image at top of page), which includes the currently active Miyakejima and neighboring Mikurajima volcanoes.
		In mid-August 2000, a 1.6 km diameter caldera formed at the summit of Miyakejima, and since then the volcano has been degassing nearly continuously, releasing vast quantities of sulphur dioxide (SO) in large volcanic plumes.
		As we approached Hachijojima, we had a clear view of one of the island's volcanoes, and the main town at its foot, before making an abrupt turn to land in the shadow of the volcano.
