Lot's Wife (crag)
is a volcanic, deserted island located in the Philippine Sea approximately south off the coast of Tokyo, in the southernmost tip of the Izu archipelago, Japan. Though only 0.01 km2 in area, it reaches almost 100 m high.
==Geography==
The island is a basalt pillar with sheer sides, the only visible portion of a submarine volcanic caldera extending south-east at an average depth of . The above sea-level portion measures approximately 84 meters east-west and 56 meters north-south, with a summit height of . The sides of the island features several geological joints facing the water's surface.
The island lies approximately south off the coast of Tokyo and from nearby Torishima. Due to its shape and heavy seas it is almost impossible to disembark on the island, although attempts have been made by rock climbers successfully in 1972 and 2003 (though several accidents have been registered). The site is also known for the transparency of its surrounding waters and abundance of fish, which makes it a popular scuba diving spot.
The only vegetation on the island is a few clumps of Poaceae, and the island attracts a small number of seabirds for nesting.
