Iwo Jima, a piece of Japanese home soil in the Pacific, is a volcanic island located approximately 650 miles south of Tokyo. The island is only about 8 square miles in total area. The most definitive feature on the island is a 550' volcanic cone, known as Mount Suribachi, located at its southern tip.
