Japan has more than 200 active volcanoes. In Kagoshima, in the south of Japan, 700,000 people live in the shadow of a potentially dangerous volcano. Not far away, on Mount Aso, thousands of tourists come to sniff the sulphurous odours at the rim of its crater. From lyrical farmers to committed researchers, Sarah Carpentier has met the people who live in cohabitation with their smouldering neighbours - half alert; half fascinated. A traveller’s log.
