VOLCANO ISLANDS

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 192 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VIR-WAT
VOLCANO ISLANDS , three small islands in the western Pacific Ocean, S. of the Bonin Islands, forming
part
  of the
Japanese
 
empire
  (annexed in 1891). They are also known as the
Magellan
  Archipelago, and in Japan as Kwazan-retto (
series
  of volcanic islands). They are situated between 24 and 26 N. and 141 and 142 E. Their names are Kita-iwojima (Santo Alessandro), Iwo-jima (
Sulphur
 ) and Minamiiwo-jima (Santo Agostino). Kita-iwo-jima--which, as its name (kita) implies, is the most northerly of the threerises 2520 ft. above the water, and Minami-iwo-jima, the most southerly, to a height of 3021 11. The islands are not inhabited. With this
group
  is sometimes included another
island
 , Arzobispo, nearer the Bonin
group
 .
