The steep cliffs of Kogajajima, a small volcanic island located NW of Nakanoshima, are seen here from the WSW. The lava domes were considered to be of late-Pleistocene to Holocene age and there is minor fumarolic activity exposed in the cliffs. Kogajajima (Little Gaja Island) lies ESE of the larger Gajajima.
