Great Webcam of Japanese Volcano eruption in progress

This is a current webcam of the Japanese volcano that is erupting. It's very clear and shows some awesome pictures

That is cool what volcano is it? I don't speak or read Japanese.

Shinmoedake volcano

Star and Flag for you! Great find!

I like how you can control the cam and pan, tilt and zoom it!

It just blew LIVE while I was watching it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think that the web cam is down. I can see the cam applet, but it is only showing a picture of the Earth. I cannot read Japanese, so I don't know if there is some link that I need to click on in order to get started.

It blew while I was watching it too.
Very exciting.

I had my 5th grade daughter and her 5th grade friend watching it when it was just smoking and then BAM it blew!

They have never been so excited to go to school to tell everyone what they saw!

It did that to me also so i just kept reloading it. I'm watching it now.

Looks like a second vent opened up,letting out white steam,just behind the main one.
Haha, I don't know the elevation... might be a low cloud.

Cool stuff, OP!

S&F for a hauntingly beautiful view of nature in action.

awwww It's not working for me!! Is it still up for everyone else??

*double post*

It's not working for me either, I'm guessing the event is over// they turned off the webcam and moved to safety? Well does anyone have a video uploaded somewhere of the volcano erupting perhaps?

Try this linke again. It's still working for me.

Shiver me timbers!! It's not working for me still dangit! I want to seeeeeee! Must be either my computer or slow cheap connection.. LOL

I tried to open the link while I already had the web page open in another tab. All i got when clicking the link is a picture of the earth in the webcam window. Maybe if the applet is being used by another one of your open web pages it won't work on this page.
Just a thought.

It just stopped working for me now too.

Thanx. I'm getting the video feed now. Not much to see at the moment, but I'm sure that if I watch long enough it may get interesting.
