A couple of hundred miles to the south of Tokyo in the Philippine Sea lies the island of Aogashima. Administered by Tokyo and part of the Izu Archipelago, the island’s 205 inhabitants (2009) enjoy a type of solitude that many will never experience. This island is known for having a volcanic caldera within a larger caldera, which makes the island’s unique shape resemble a tropical scene from the set of Jurassic Park or Lost. Only accessible by boat or helicopter, one could end up trapped here pretty easily if the seas get rough or a tropical storm makes its way in. - read more at unusualplaces.org/aogashima-island/

The Real Thing

Quando alguém fala do Japão, a primeira imagem que vem a cabeça são os personagens multicoloridos de mangá, as luzes de neon piscante do centro de Tóquio, as ruas lotadas de pedestres. O caos, em suma. Mas tem um local que contraria esse estereótipo de falta de espaço e muita correria. A paradisíaca e surreal ilha de Aogashima: um imenso vulcão com um vilarejo e outro vulcão menor dentro. Tudo isso jogado na imensidão do Oceano Pacífico. - leia mais em Galileo - Aogashima, a ilha mais fantástica do Japão
