About :
The Iodake volcano covers more than half of the island of Satsuma Iojima. For almost 1,000 years, people in southwest Japan made their living from sulfur mining. Today, this is no longer profitable. More and more people are moving away. The remaining residents, however, do not want to give up their island and are using ingenious methods to attract holidaymakers and new islanders. Satsuma Iojima is located in southwest Japan, around 50 kilometers from the mainland. Around 114 people still live on the island, which is just twelve square kilometers in size. At its peak, when the Iodake was used for sulfur and silica mining, there were three times as many. Since the decline of these industries, many residents have turned their backs on their homeland. Mainly old people remain. More than a third of the islanders are now over 70 years old. There is a lack of lucrative jobs. But there is also a countermovement. A good dozen young urban Japanese have emigrated to Iojima in the last ten years. One of them is the geologist Hisashi Oiwane. The emigrant is not only looking for the simple life on the island, he also wants to ensure its survival. After having ensured that the island was declared a geopark worthy of protection, he now wants to create jobs with his first start-up company. Tours of the volcano are intended to delight both holidaymakers and stressed-out business people. But will visitors go for it? Or will the fear of another mega-eruption of the volcano, as last happened more than 7,000 years ago, outweigh the fear. At that time, large parts of Japan were covered by an ash cloud. And the danger is not over. Scientists have just discovered gas bubbles rising from the volcano underwater. With the help of new research, they hope to be able to make accurate predictions.
