Topography of the Shinmoedake summit crater (a) before and (b) after the 2017–2018 eruptions. Major vent locations are indicated. A large fracture zone, formed in 2018 on the eastern surface of the dome, overlaps the vent area of October 2017. The 2018 vent, caused by Vulcanian explosions, is located westward of the 2017 vent area. Map (a) is a Red Relief Image Map made by Asia Air Survey Co., Ltd., from GSI topographic data. Map (b) is derived from photogrammetry from data acquired during our drone survey on 9 February 2019
