Mount Aso Erupts

Above, a screen capture from a YouTube video of the eruption.

The volcano made famous in the 1956 feature, Rodan, erupted today.

According to Reuters:
Mount Aso, a volcano located on Japan's southernmost main island of Kyushu, erupted on Sept. 14, Japan's Meteorological Agency said, sending up huge plumes of grey ash and smoke. 
Japan lies on the "Ring of Fire"--a horseshoe-shaped band of fault lines and volcanoes around the edges of the Pacific Ocean--and is home to more than 100 active volcanoes. 
Last year, Mount Ontakesan in central Japan erupted unexpectedly, killing 63, the worst volcanic disaster for nearly 90 years. In May, a remote island south of Kyushu was evacuated due to another eruption.
