Perspective view looking NW over the Caloris Basin. Pantheon Fossae, radial dike swarm in the foreground. The Impact crater just offset to the right of the swarm is 41 km in diameter. Red and white are higher topography; blues are lower. Total vertical difference is 4 km.

Manda – Inakir recent volcanism. The Kammourta volcano is flagged at the red pointer. It is the 1928 – 1929 most recent eruption from this system. Multiple lava flows at center to the south of the main line of lava flows is the Dabbahu Manda Hararo rifting event of 2005 – 2010. The Andabba plain is to the lower right of the image. Google Maps screen capture.

This is the second of three posts on the East Hokkaido Caldera Field. This post is centered on the Kutcharo (Kussaro or Kuttyaro) volcanic complex.
Volcan Toliman (center right), Atitlan (far right) from Volcan San Pedro (foreground). Note cinder cone on northern flank of Toliman. Lake Atitlan in the foreground and to the left of the photo. Heavily vegetated lava flows on the near flanks and north facing flanks of Toliman. Village in the center foreground. North is to the left of the photo. Lake Atitlan fills about half the Atitlan III caldera. Image courtesy DIY Travel HQ
Special note to our readers:
Many thanks to all who filled in the survey. A few great suggestions have come in. Now we have to think about the “logistics” to put some of them into action. As we are allowed to keep the survey app running to a certain limit of entries we have decided to put the post up in our top menu. Perhaps the one or other of you still want to have their say. Be reminded that you may answer even just one question and then click the “Finish” button. That’s okay – we appreciate every single bit of input!

The Toya – Usu post led me to the interesting volcanic history of Hokkaido, Japan. Found a multiple caldera complex in eastern Hokkaido with three calderas in close proximity to one another. Will write about these for the next few posts.
