Not exactly. Japan claims only the "Southern Kuriles" that is, from Iturup (Japanese Etorofu) southward, as per the Japanese-Russian Treaty of 1855. The Soviet Union attacked Japan at the very end of WWII and occupied all of the Kuriles. Japan is clearly in the right in that the Soviet Union had no legal claim to the Southern Kuriles. Basically, the current Russian occupation was a gift of Japanese territory from Roosevelt and Churchill to Stalin. The island on which the volcano is located, Matua, is in the Northern Kuriles and is not claimed by Japan.

<sentencetext>
Not exactly.
Japan claims only the "Southern Kuriles" that is, from Iturup (Japanese Etorofu) southward, as per the Japanese-Russian Treaty of 1855.
The Soviet Union attacked Japan at the very end of WWII and occupied all of the Kuriles.
Japan is clearly in the right in that the Soviet Union had no legal claim to the Southern Kuriles.
Basically, the current Russian occupation was a gift of Japanese territory from Roosevelt and Churchill to Stalin.
The island on which the volcano is located, Matua, is in the Northern Kuriles and is not claimed by Japan.

	<htmltext>That article had spectacular volcano photo's no doubt but did anyone notice the article at the bottom of the page about the hole in the universe?  I found that way more interesting.  Evidently no one thought it noteworthy to speak about it.  We know tons of info about volcanoes since we can watch them here on Earth but I think the big "blank spot" in space should be looked at more closely especially since as the photo caption remarks the thing is measured at 500 light years yet no stars are between it and us even though in the rest of the pic you can see stars that do appear closer.  Now that is weird.</htmltext>
