Movie Star Volcano in Southern Japan Erupts

The Shinmoedake volcano on the southern island of Kyushu, has erupted, again.  The volcano started erupting back in January.  This was part of a series of volcanic events that lead some people to predict a major geologic event for Japan.

The volcano had settled down for the past two weeks, but now, after the big quake event, it has roared back to life.  Witnesses say it is hurling huge boulders, and ash.

This volcano is a movie star; it was used as the bad guys hide out in the 1967 James Bond movie “You Only Live Twice”.
