A vast reservoir of magma beneath Japan's Kikai caldera appears to be filling again, offering scientists a rare glimpse into how some of Earth's largest volcanoes recover after catastrophic eruptions.
About Kikai Caldera:
It is a massive submarine caldera with three small islands, parts of the caldera rim, that project above sea level.
It is located in the East China Sea just south of Kyushu, Japan.
It is still active, producing a scattered array of minor eruptions in recent decades.
Research has found evidence of new volcanic activity beneath the Kikai Caldera, pointing to the formation of a lava dome and raising concerns about its potential to erupt again.
