ONLINE VACATION
MOUNT FUJI, HONSHU, JAPAN
10/11/13
Hi Everyone. Today, our vacation trip is to Mount Fuji, Japan. First,
let's learn a little about Mount Fuji.
Mount Fuji is the highest and the most famous mountain in Japan. This
legendary mountain is more than ‘just a mountain’. It is a tall,
conical shaped, active volcano. The volcano last erupted almost 300
years ago, in 1707. Mount Fuji itself was created by explosive
eruptions thousands of years ago.
The exceptionally symmetrical cone of Mt. Fuji is snow capped all
throughout the year. Its beauty has enchanted artists and
photographers for years. It is one of Japan’s “Three Holy Mountains”
along with Mount Tate and Mount Haku.
Mount Fuji is located in Honshu – Japan’s largest island. Mt. Fuji is
surrounded by five beautiful lakes – Lake Kawaguchiko, Lake
Yamanakako, Lake Saiko, Lake Motosuko and Lake Shojiko. All of the
lakes give a wonderful view of the mountain.
Mount Fuji is called "the land of the rising sun". Most trekkers plan
the trek to catch the sunrise. As many as 200,000 people climb Mount
Fuji every year. But climbing it is no easy job. The temperatures at
the summit are very low. The lowest recorded temperature is -36
degrees Fahrenheit. Also, it is difficult to breathe
due to lack of oxygen.
I hope you have enjoyed this trip to Mount Fuji.
