	Encyclopedia: Mount Unzen
		Mount Unzen (é²ä»å²³) is an active volcano near the city of Shimabara in Nagasaki Prefecture on the island of Kyushu in Japan.
		Mount Etna spewed rocks and ash as far as 6 miles Thursday and an expert said the Sicilian volcano could be on the verge of its biggest eruption for six years.
		Mount Rainier is potentially the most dangerous volcano in the Cascades because it is very steep, covered in large amounts of ice and snow, and near a large population that lives in lowland drainages.

	Mount Unzen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unzen's most serious eruption came in 1792, with a large dacitic lave flow coming from Fugen-dake.
		The volcano was designated a Decade Volcano in 1991 as part of the United Nations' International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction, due to its history of violent activity and location in a densely populated area.
		This was attributed to hydrothermal circulation accelerating the cooling of the magma over the nine years since the end of the eruption.

	Unzen : Attractions \| Frommers.com
		When the area around Unzen Spa was designated a national park in 1934, it was named after what was thought to be an extinct volcanic chain, collectively called Mount Unzen.
		In 1990, however, a peak in Mount Unzen -- Mount Fugen -- erupted for the first time in almost 200 years, killing several dozen people on its eastern slope and leaving behind a huge lava dome.
		Unzen Spa, on the opposite side, was untouched and remains the area's most popular resort town.

		From 1991 to 1995, the continued growth of the Mount Unzen dome in Japan spawned the initiation of hundreds of small but highly destructive pyroclastic flows and surges.
		The eruption of Mount Unzen, taught volcanologists a valuable lesson: that an active dome may collapse and cause the development of pyroclastic flows.
		Calderas are circular to oblong depressions formed by the collapse along curved fractures associated with the extrusion of pyroclastic materials.
