Mount Fuji, Japan: Mt. Fuji (center; peak with snowcap), surrounded by Fuji Hakone Isu National Park, rises 3,776 m above the north end of Suruga Bay. The city of Shizuoka occupies the area around the hook of land on the western shore of the bay (view is to NW). Progressing east from Suruga Bay are Sagami-wan and Tokyo-wan (bays), separated by Iro-zaki and Ken-zaki (peninsulas), respectively. The Tokyo-Yokahama urban complex and the thoroughly engineered coastline of Tokyo-wan dominate the eastern portion of the photo.
