Ref.#06 1938 ~ Lake Towada
Lake Towada fills the enormous caldera of a volcano much like Crater Lake in Oregon. The first large eruptions occurred 55,000 years ago. Unlike Oregon's lake, Towada is still considered active. The last eruption in 915 AD devastated the surrounding area with pyroclastic flows. Portions of the cliffs surrounding the caldera expose the crystalline structure of volcanic basalt that formed as it cooled. We were fortunate to take a boat trip around the perimeter of the lake in late October when autumn foliage is at its peak.
