Probably not, but it looks cool...the tall forming cloud over Mt. Fuji...looked to me like an eruption...
But it...."Fell"...into almost a Cloud cap...but not really making it....Thought it was interesting though...
Certain is different...I look at a Mt. Fuji webcam nearly everyday...have not seen it rise up like that...Thunder Cloud???
Opinions, observations welcome.

Re: Mt. Fuji....Erupting???
With so many people living relatively nearby an actual eruption of Mt. Fuji would have been huge news Boomer. It must have just been a cloud.
Just as zero is not equal to infinity, everything coming from nothing is illogical.

Boomer, those are spectacular sights - especially the one where the cloud is forming a virtually straight TOWER! Not to mention the colours pointing to a sunset - or is it sunrise? I don't remember when I last observed a sunrise since at that time of the day I am in deep-sleep mode ...

must be sunrise, as the view is slightly south west...Cloudgazer wrote:Boomer, those are spectacular sights - especially the one where the cloud is forming a virtually straight TOWER!

Re: Mt. Fuji....Erupting???
Thanks, Boomer! I was also wondering whether Mt. Fuji isn't likely to act up again one day? Don't know anything about it and might check that out. In theory, I would imagine, it is still considered as potentially active ... they must be monitoring its seismic status until a first warning becomes due, whenever that might be - and with the webcam there to record the event!

Re: Mt. Fuji....Erupting???
I've thought about that (I live on a volcano practically, so they are of special interest to me) and came across this article in the Daily Telegraph dated 1st October last year: Could Mount Fuji be the next Japanese volcano to erupt? The answer seems to be ..."Maybe". It is still considered an active volcano and last erupted in 1707.Cloudgazer wrote:Thanks, Boomer! I was also wondering whether Mt.

Oh, here is a background article from National Geographic
