Hot volcanic plumes have been observed at Kurikoma Volcano in Japan. Aerial observations from a helicopter showed plumes were rising from several locations, about seven kilometers southwest of the summit of the volcano. Volcanic gases were possibly released after the magnitude 6.8 earthquake which hit 20 NW of the volcano three days ago.
