About Kurose Hole

Kurose Hole, between Mikura and Hachijo-jima islands, is a nearly circular 5-7 km wide submarine caldera with a 600-760 m deep floor. The high point of the caldera rim rises to about 100 m of the ocean surface. Large amounts of dacitic pumice have been recovered from dredges along the inner caldera wall. The age of its most recent eruption is not known.
