Garandake is a part of a volcano group consists of lava domes stretching 5 km north-south across the Beppu graben, which itself extends from east to west behind Beppu city. Tsurumidake is at its southernmost end. The volcanoes in the group are composed of andesite and dacite (is between 57 and 63 wt %). Tsurumidake is composed of deep lava flow deposits. A weak fumarole is located on the northern side of the summit of Tsurumidake, and very active fumaroles are in the crater of Garandake, at the northern end of the volcano group. The alluvial fan at the east foot of the volcano group contains the Beppu Onsen group, and a particularly large number of boiling springs and fumaroles are distributed on the border between the fan-shaped north-south rim and the mountain land. The SiO2 content is betweeb 56.7 and 64.9 wt %. We passed by here from Beppu on the way to mount aso, one of the most active volcanoes of japan. Luckily we were able to meet a Japanese from the region who guided us to this pearl which we would never have discovered ourselves. If you want visit this beautiful site, you should plan enough time and also pay a visit to the onsen Tsukahara Onsen Kakono Izumi and try the onsen eggs and ice cream :-) https://www.tukaharaonsen.jp/ If you are interested in more information about Grandake: https://www.data.jma.go.jp/vois/data/tokyo/STOCK/souran_eng/volcanoes/081_tsurumidake_and_garandake.pdf Drone: DJI FPV GepRc Crocodile5 baby long range Kamera: GoPro8 Fernsteuerung: TBS TANGO 2, Crossfire Brille: DJI Goggles V2 Antenne: Crystal HD Patch 5.8GHz - iFlight Music: Stranded by Sascha Ende Free download: https://filmmusic.io/song/10375-stranded License (CC BY 4.0): https://filmmusic.io/standard-license
