Mount Ōkueyama
Mount Ōkueyama, also known as Mount Ōkue, is a volcanic mountain on the Japanese island of Kyushu. Part of an ancient volcanic formation known as the Okueyama Volcano-plutonic Complex, Mount Ōkueyama experienced a massive eruption ~13.7 million years before present; it has been postulated that this eruption measured 8 on the Volcanic Explosivity Index, making the Ōkueyama eruption larger than any eruption in recorded history. The volcano is now considered to be extinct.
