About 1-m thick mud including many blocks
drapes the present topography 300-m west of Aramaki Campas, Gunma
University at Maebashi. This deposit is emplaced by the Kambara
hot lahar originated from the northern flank of Asama on August
5, 1783. The hot lahar killed about 1400 people not only on the
flank but along the Agatsuma River and its lower course, the
Tone here. The cause of the hot lahar formation remains an unsolved
mystery. Recent large-scale land development made it possible
to see this outcrop. Click to get a larger image.
