I still remember being amazed at the unending line of people climbing Mt. Fuji in the middle of the night during a summer trip we took there with friends in ... '88 was it?

TOKYO (Reuters) - A lack of winter snow on Japan's famed Mount Fuji has sparked speculation the volcano could erupt for the first time in three centuries, but experts Thursday denied any link between snow and seismic activity.

Much of Japan has had record snowfall in the last month, but recent photographs of the usually snowcapped Mount Fuji show its slopes looking bare.

"A lot of snow fell on Mount Fuji, but it was blown off by strong winds," a city official in Fujiyoshida near Mount Fuji said.

Some tabloids have taken the snowless peak as a sign that an eruption was imminent, but scientists said there was no basis for concern.

"There is no link whatsoever between the scarcity of snow on Mount Fuji and volcanic activities there," said a scientist at the volcano section of Japan's Meteorological Agency.

The nearly conical Fuji is classified as a dormant volcano since it last erupted in 1707, but the government was rattled in November 2000 when the number of small earthquakes shaking the peak jumped to more than 200 from a monthly average of around 20.

Japan, which lies at the intersection of several tectonic plates, is regularly rattled by tremors of varying strength, with volcanic eruptions not infrequent.

I do NOT believe these necessary preparations have anything, in fact, to do with fears of an erruption of Mt. Fuji.

I think these are preparations born out of a fear of WMD-related terrorism and/or WARFARE.
