"James Bond" Volcano Erupts

Post by khyron82 »

Mt. Shinmoe-dake, in Southern Kyushu, Japan erupted last week and has entered a potentially very explosive phase. It is also the volcano that was used in the 1967 James Bond film, YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE as the exterior for SPECTRE's Japanese rocket base lair:
