Iliboleng
Indonesia
8.342°S, 123.258°E; summit elev. 1659 m
All times are local (unless otherwise noted)
Ash eruptions occurred on 3 and 15 November 1991, ejecting columns to a maximum of ~150 m above the crater rim. Since then, an average of 47 shallow earthquakes have been recorded monthly, and a white vapor column continued to rise to ~ 50 m above the crater.
Geological Summary. Iliboleng stratovolcano was constructed at the SE end of Adonara Island across a narrow strait from Lomblen Island. The volcano is capped by multiple, partially overlapping summit craters. Lava flows modify its profile, and a cone low on the SE flank, Balile, has also produced lava flows. Historical eruptions, first recorded in 1885, have consisted of moderate explosive activity, with lava flows accompanying only the 1888 eruption.
