Mount Unzen in extreme southwestern Japan (Kyushu) is a series of active volcanic domes which created deadly eruptions in 1792 and in 1991.The 1792 eruption included lava flows from Mount Fugen and the catastrophic collapse of Mount Mayuyama on May 21, 1792, creating a tsunami in the Ariake Sea. The landslide and tsunami killed as many as 15,000 people in Shimabara City and the nearby areas. It was Japan's most deadly volcanic eruption.In 1990, after a two-hundred-year slumber, Mount Unzen awoke. It produced a new lava dome at its summit and by May 20, 1991 began ejecting lava flows. On June 3, 1991, a sudden eruption and explosion of hot gases swept nearly 3 miles (5 km) from the mountain, killing 43 volcano observers and reporters.Among the journalists and volcanologists killed in 1991 was Harry Glicken (1958-1991), who had been scheduled to observe Mount St. Helens on May 18, 1980. His replacement, David Johnston, was killed in that eruption.
