One for the Meteorologists!

I was flying into Tokyo a couple of days ago and the weather was as nice as I have seen for some time. I snapped the following photos of an interesting cloud phenomenon that I have not seen before.
The photos are of some volcanic islands to the south of Tokyo. We are on descent as I took them. You can see the low level cloud bending around the islands. Very interesting (if you are into that sort of thing).
In a couple of the photos, you can see a faint cone in the distance on the mainland, it's Mount Fuji. Photos are from my iPhone so not hi res... wish I had a 7 or 8 MP camera with me at the time but this is nice enough anyway. Wish I could have taken more but we became busy with the descent into Narita.
Anyway... Enjoy.
