The voices of two large gongs sing of deep currents and vast waves.
An intense and powerful journey.
Izu Ogasawara is a deep oceanic trench in the Western Pacific Ocean. The trench extends to nearly 10 km depth. The 200-km wide forearc region includes an inner trench slope with a basal terrace and seamounts, an outer arc connected to the Bonin Islands and a thick forearc sedimentary basin east of the active arc volcanoes. The backarc region encompasses active rift basins and cross-chains of submarine arc volcanoes extending into the Shikoku Basin.
