A peaceful coastline.

Caption

This view from the city of Shingu on the southern end of the Kii Peninsula, south of Kyoto and Osaka, shows the Kumano Sea, where the sediment core was extracted from. This coastline is one of outstanding natural beauty and dotted with several cities which are at risk from the anticipated Nankai Trough megaquake.
