[:ja]金井宣茂宇宙飛行士がISSから撮影した春の富士山です。画像からもわかる様にだいぶ雪が溶けてきました。
富士山は標高3776mの活火山で、懸垂曲線の山容を有した玄武岩質成層火山で構成され、その山体は駿河湾の海岸まで及びます。古来霊峰とされ、特に山頂部は浅間大神が鎮座するとされたため、神聖視されました。噴火を沈静化するため律令国家により浅間神社が祭祀され、浅間信仰が確立されました。2013年には「富士山-信仰の対象と芸術の源泉」の名で世界文化遺産に登録されました。
春の、今日の、富士山の地上の様子はこちらです。

Mt. Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan at 3776m, and is an active stratovolcano that last erupted in 1707–1708. Mt. Fuji’s exceptionally symmetrical cone is a well-known symbol of Japan and it is frequently depicted in art and photographs, as well as visited by sightseers and climbers. It was added to the World Heritage List as a Cultural Site in 2013.
