Sakurajima volcano erupted, sending an ash cloud 1,100 meters into the sky in Japan.

Officials said the explosive eruption occurred at 7:47 am in Kagoshima on January 26.

Dramatic timelapse footage shows the active volcano releasing a plume of ash above the crater.

It recorded at least 24 quakes, magnitudes up to 2.9, on Sunday.

Sakurajima is one of Japan's most active volcanoes, with a history of frequent eruptions. Originally an island, it became a peninsula after a significant eruption in 1914.

Japan lies along the Pacific 'Ring of Fire' where the majority of Earth's volcano eruptions and earthquakes happen.
