Ummm ... yeah.  Was that something in the Japan Fact Sheet that I 
missed?  The two islands I mentioned are part of Izu-shoto and shoto 
means island chain or island group.  The Izu-shoto are all volcanoes 
that are sticking up above the water and there are a couple of more that 
don't stick up above the water but make a fish nabe like a kilometer 
across when they erupt. Lots of dead cooked fish floating on the water 
then.  Maybe you'd have to be there ...
