北海道之旅 - 昭和新山 Mt Showa Shinzan

This mountain located above sea level 406.9 meters was formed by an elevation caused by the earthquake on 28Dec1943 from a flat wheat field to its current height of 290 meters between 1943 and 1945, is one of Japan's youngest mountains and it still venting sulfurous fumes today.

这座山脉位于海拔406.9米高,它是在1943年12月28日间因地震而从平地标高290米后凸起的。它也是当今日本“最年轻”的山脉之一,如今仍然可以看到白烟不停地从一旁冒出。
