About Mount Ōkueyama
Mount Ōkueyama is a mountain. Location: Nobeoka Shi, Miyazaki. Elevation: 1,643 m.
Mount Ōkueyama (大崩山), also known as Mount Ōkue, is a volcanic mountain on the Japanese island of Kyushu. Part of an ancient volcanic formation known as the Okueyama Volcano-plutonic Complex, Mount Ōkueyama (and possibly several nearby volcanoes) experienced a massive eruption ~13.7 million years before present (13.7 Ma); it has been postulated that this eruption measured 8 on the Volcanic Explosivity Index, making the Ōkueyama eruption larger than any eruption in recorded history.
