Hakone caldera

Hakone consists of seven central cones within double calderas. One of those cones is a stratovolcano and six are steep lava domes. The outer, older caldera was formed in the middle of a stratovolcano. The inner, younger caldera was formed in the middle of a shield volcano. The main part of the body of Hakone is a huge stratovolcano. This volcano has a central caldera 6.8 miles (11 km) across from north to south and 6.2 miles (10 km) across from east to west. The circular ridge surrounding this caldera is an old somma. It ranges in height from ~2600-4000 ft (800-1200 m).
