The Earth is in a “state of childbirth” from end to end as volcanoes awaken and erupt, spewing lava and smoke. A few hours ago the eruption of the volcano on Mount Ace in Japan on Wednesday 20/10, strong tremors shook the historic island of Iwo Jima
A fleet of Japanese ships of World War II rose from the ocean floor and washed ashore after vibrations from a nearby volcano on Mount Suribaci.
The ships sank during the Battle of Iwo Jima towards the end of the war in 1945. Now aerial images show the wrecks of the 24 transport ships washed ashore. The photos were taken by All Nippon News after rising from the seabed due to activity of the Suribaci volcano in the west of the island
The boats are sitting on a layer of volcanic ash and experts say the vibrations from the volcano could indicate an impending eruption.
“There is a possibility of a big explosion on the island of Ivo Jima”
These ships are not victims of battle. Instead, the US Navy deliberately destroyed the site in 1945 after occupying the island. The Japanese used them in an attempt to create an artificial breakwater to prevent possible attacks on the planned construction of a port.
Many of these ships are reinforced concrete barges, ships built to support naval operations and not necessarily to have any direct role in battle. Four of them are former cargo ships, at least one of which is Japanese according to naval documents.
As the island rises between 10 and 30 inches a year – the beach where U.S. forces landed in 1945 is now more than 50 feet above sea level – Ghost ships “move” from offshore relics to spooky land monoliths.
Speaking about the activity, Setsuya Nakada, of the Volcano Research Promotion Center, said: “There is a possibility of a large eruption on the island of Ivo Jima.”
The Battle of Iwo Jima was an extremely important battle between the United States and the Japanese in World War II.. By the time it ended, 21,000 Japanese soldiers had been killed and 216 captured.
