Mt Suribachi

Mt Suribachi is 546 feet of dormant volcano that acts as the main monument to the battle which took place here. The picture at the top is looking down into the crater; you can see the sulfuric steam jetting up out of the bottom of the crater. As you climb up the road to the top of the mountain you can still see pockmarks in cliff faces from shelling during the war. Those are the brown blotches in the second picture down.
