Satsuma Iōjima – silverfox175

This volcanic island is 5.5 km long by 4.0 km wide, elevation is 704 mtrs (2309 ft). The crater is about 400 mtrs across.
The volcano discharges about 1300 tons a day of sulphur dioxide, and over a year it is  474,500 tons, and global warming is supposed to be our fault.

From Hong Kong to Osaka we passed close to this island, which is about 50 km from the mainland of Japan – Kagoshima Province. The island has a ferry service from the mainland, which runs twice a week and takes about three hours. The island doesn’t have an airport.

Population in 2006 was 121, I couldn’t find any updates – but allowing for inflation, when everything doubles in ten years, I’d say the population today is around 250.
