context_page_description: Mount Suribachi is a 169-metre-high mountain on the southwest end of Iwo Jima in the northwest Pacific Ocean under the administration of Ogasawara Subprefecture, Tokyo Metropolis, Japan.
  The mountain's name derives from its shape, resembling a suribachi or grinding bowl. It is also known as "Mount Pipe", since the Volcanic gas and water vapor that rolls in from the summit, alongside the rest of the island, give the appearance of a smoking pipe when viewed from the sea.
  Joe Rosenthal's iconic World War II photograph, "Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima", depicting United States Marines raising an American flag, was taken at the mountain's peak during the Battle of Iwo Jima in 1945.
