Kusatsu-Shiranesan Continuously Monitored by JMA Latitude: 36°38'38" N, Longitude: 138°31'40" E, Elevation: 2,160 m (Shiranesan) (Elevation Point) Latitude: 36°37'06" N, Longitude: 138°31'40" E, Elevation: 2,165 m (Shiranesan) (Triangulation Point) Overview of Kusatsu-Shiranesan taken from the west side on August 10, 2011 by the Japan Meteorological Agency Summary Kusatsu-Shiranesan is a stratovolcano which was formed asymmetrically on Neogene basement rock which slopes downwards to the southeast. A group of pyroclastic cones, including Shiranesan, Ainomine, and Motoshiranesan, which stretch from the north to the south, are located in its highest western area. To the south and east of these cones, andesitic lava flows cover an area of several km from the summit. Further downhill there is a dacitic pyroclastic flow plateau. The SiO2 content of the andesite and dacite is between 53.7 and 64.2 wt %. 3 crater lakes are arranged from northeast to southwest at the summit of the Shiranesan pyroclastic cone. They are named Mizugama, Yugama, and Karegama. All historical eruptions were occurred in the Shiranesan summit area. All recent eruptive activity consists of phreatic explosions. The volcano is prone to producing lahars. The volcano has many hot springs, such as Kusatsu Onsen, and solfatara which generates H2S. 1 (44.
