Tear Drop Sulfur Grains, created by explosion
爆発によって作られた涙状硫黄

July 8, 2017
This photograph is showing unique sulfur grains which I named "Tear Drop Sulfur Grains" in the vicinity of Crater I. During the molten sulfur eruption at Crater I liquid sulfur was splashed up by the phreatic explosion at Crater I. Those grains were sulfur droplets.

Detailed area explained in my paper at Bulletin of the Shiretoko Museum as below:

この写真に写っている硫黄粒は僕が「涙状硫黄」と呼んでいる硫黄粒だ。1号火口の水蒸気爆発によって吹き飛ばされた溶融硫黄が飛沫になって飛び散ってできたものだ。詳しくは僕の論文を参照してください。
