Agung volcano towers over the eastern end of the island of Bali. A steep-walled, 200-m deep crater is located at the summit of the 3142-m-high volcano. Only three eruptions have been recorded in historical time; the latest, in 1963-64, produced devastating pyroclastic flows and lahars. Copyrighted photo by Katia and Maurice Krafft, 1971.
