Toyako Lake and the mountains around the lake are noted for its active volcanism. This area has evidence of several eruptions since recorded history. Showa-Shinzan, which is shown in the first two pictures, is the lava dome and was formed only in two years during the Greater East-Asian War. The last picture is Toyako Lake and the devastated area from the eruption in 2000.
