There are 626 photos available for volcanoes in Indonesia.
A newly formed, steaming lava dome occupies the summit crater of Awu volcano. Following increased seismicity, a small lava dome was noted on June 2, 2004. Explosive eruptions took place beginning on June 6, the largest of which, on June 10, produced an ash plume 3 km high. By June 14 the dome was 250 x 300 m wide and 40 m high. Incandescence was observed in late June to early July, and at the end of August (the last report) the dome was observed to have increased in size to the north, but had not increased in height. Photo by A. Solihin, 2004 (Centre of Volcanology & Geological Hazard Mitigation, Volcanological Survey of Indonesia).
The SE flank of Gunung Sundoro rises above fields to the west. Sundoro has erupted in historical time from both summit and flank vents and the cone at the lower left is Gunung Kembang.Photo by Lee Siebert, 1995 (Smithsonian Institution).
A pyroclastic flow travels down the SE flank of Merapi on 7 June 2006. Renewed lava dome growth had begun at Merapi in April 2006. Ashfall was reported 5 km from the summit on 27 April. Beginning in May, pyroclastic flows descended the flanks of the volcano, sometimes reaching populated areas.Photo courtesy of The Research and Technology Development Agency for Volcanology, Yogyakarta (BPPTK), 2006.
The elongated island of Pulau Weh is offshore from the NW tip of Sumatra. It has been interpreted as the remains of a partially-collapsed older volcanic center that now opens to the NW and is filled by the sea. Volcanism at Pulau Weh was considered to be of Pleistocene age, but fumaroles and hot springs are present along a NW-E-trending line along the summit of the island and near the western shore of Lhok Perialakot bay on the northern side of the island.Copyrighted photo by Michael Thirnbeck, 2006.
Anak Krakatau is seen here in 1993 from the east with a lava flow reaching the sea in the foreground. This eruption began with explosions and lava emission on 7 November 1992. Lava flowed to the SE and NE, eventually reaching the NW coast. Another lava flow traveled to the SSE beginning in February 1993 and reached the southern coast. A third flow descended to the north in April and May. Explosive activity was continuing in June, when a tourist was killed and five others injured. Eruptions continued until October 1993.Photo by Ruska Hadian, 1993 (Volcanological Survey of Indonesia).
This aerial photo was taken from the SE on 14 August 1922, less than a week after the end of an eruption that began on 18 February 1922. It shows the summit of Merapi prior to a major eruption in 1930, during which much of the summit lava dome collapsed. Eruptions were reported on 18 February, 4-5 April, and 8 August 1922, during which frequent rock avalanches accompanied lava dome growth. A lava flow that traveled 180 m down the western flank is visible to the left.Photo published in Taverne, 1926 "Vulkaanstudien op Java," (courtesy of Volcanological Survey of Indonesia).
Seulawah Agam is seen here with the northern coast of Sumatra in the background. This extensively forested volcano of Pleistocene-Holocene age is located in the province of Aceh at the NW tip of Sumatra. It was constructed within the large Pleistocene Lam Teuba caldera and a smaller nested 8 x 6 km caldera. The summit contains a forested 400-m-wide crater.Copyrighted photo by Michael Thirnbeck, 2007.
Anak Ranakah (Child of Ranakah) lava dome on the left was formed in 1987 next to the larger Ranakah lava dome on the right.Copyrighted photo by Katia and Maurice Krafft, 1988.
An eruption column rises above Perboewatan crater on Krakatau Island on 27 May 1883. Three months later one of history's most noted eruptions destroyed much of the island, forming a submarine caldera. Detonations were heard as far away as Australia, pyroclastic flows swept across the sea to the coast of Sumatra, and powerful tsunamis devastated the shores of Sumatra and Java.Photo courtesy Volcanological Survey of Indonesia, 1883.
The Lewotobi "Husband and Wife" twin volcano is composed of the Lewotobi Lakilaki (seen in this view) and Lewotobi Perempuan stratovolcanoes, whose summits are less than 2 km apart on a NW-SE line. The summits of both volcanoes contain lava domes. Lewotobi Perempuan has had historical eruptions only in 1921 and 1935, whereas Lewotobi Lakilaki is one of the most active volcanoes on Flores Island, with frequent eruptions in the 19th and 20th centuries.Copyrighted photo by Katia and Maurice Krafft, 1971.
The symmetrical stratovolcano Sundoro, seen here from the NW with its flank vent of Gunung Kembang on the right, is one of two prominent stratovolcanoes SE of the Dieng volcanic complex in central Java. Explosive eruptions have occurred in historical time from both summit and flank vents.Copyrighted photo by Katia and Maurice Krafft, 1971.
Pulau Weh is the island to the right in this NASA Space Shuttle image with N to the upper right. The NW tip of Sumatra is at the bottom of the image. Lhok Perialakot bay on the north side of the island has been interpreted as the remains of a partially-collapsed older volcanic center that opens to the NW. Volcanism was assumed to be of Pleistocene age, but fumaroles and hot springs are found at the SE part of the island and along the shores of Lhok Perialakot.NASA Space Shuttle image STS065-107-39, 1994 (http://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/).
The steep wall behind Tomok village on Samosir Island is part of a block of uplifted caldera-fill rocks. The entire 630 km2 island, which now rises to 700 m above Lake Toba, is capped with lake-floor sediments that were deposited before the island was uplifted above lake level.Photo by Tom Casadevall, 1987 (U.S. Geological Survey)
Two cinder cones with circular craters are located above the center of this NASA Landsat image of northern Halmahera Island (with north to the top). The cones lie between Galela Lake and Galela Bay (upper right), with the town of Galela on its shore. Tarakan Lamo (on the east side of the lake) and Tarakan Itji (to the NW of Tarakan Lamo) have well-formed summit craters 800 and 500 m in diameter and 160 and 125 m deep, respectively.

Tuk-Tuk, a small peninsula on Samosir Island, provides a vista of Latung Strait, which separates the opposing resurgent blocks of Samosir (right) and the Uluan block on the left. The Latung Strait marks the center of post-caldera resurgence, which tilted the Uluan block, located within the SE part of the caldera, to the SE and the Samosir Island block to the NE.Photo by Mike Dolan, 1993 (Michigan Technological University).
The Beriti Besar volcano, part of the Hululais volcanic ridge, rises above Mubai village on the Semalako Plain in SW Sumatra. This NW-SE-trending massif that contains a 1.2-km-wide crater breached to the NE. The age of its latest eruptions is not known, although fumaroles occur in the crater walls.Photo by Kasturian, 1982 (Volcanological Survey of Indonesia).

A boatload of visitors prepares to sail to Anak Krakatau Island, seen behind the boat. Anak Krakatau was constructed within the 1883 caldera, whose southern rim forms Rakata peak in the background to the right.Photo by Dick Fiske, 1983 (Smithsonian Institution).
Active fumaroles on the SE crater wall of the highly acidic Kawah Ijen crater lake, within one of the cones that formed in the 20-km-wide Ijen caldera. The 1-km-wide turquoise-colored crater lake is near the eastern rim of Ijen caldera and has been the site of phreatic eruptions in historical time and is noted for its sulfur deposits. Photo by Tom Casadevall, 1987 (U.S. Geological Survey).
A plume rises above Doro Api, one of the two large post-caldera cones of Sangeang Api, in 1985. Doro Mantai appears at the right in this view from Sori Buntu on the S flank. An eruption that included both explosive activity and the effusion of lava flows down the W flank began in July 1985 and lasted until February 1988.Photo by Samud W., 1990 (Volcanological Survey of Indonesia).
The crater wall above the historically active crater lake within Kawah Merapi crater at the summit of Dempo volcano shows a series of alternating lava flows and pyroclastic deposits.Photo by Ruska Hadian, 1989 (Volcanological Survey of Indonesia).
A submarine eruption from Anak Krakatau on 13 June 1930, produces both a vertical eruption plume and a base surge extending radially from the vent along the surface of the sea. Submarine eruptions were first observed in December 1927, forming several ephemeral islands. By 12 August 1930 Anak Krakatau had become a permanent island.Photo by W. Petroschevsky, 1930 (courtesy Volcanological Survey of Indonesia).
The steep-walled, 600-m-wide summit crater of Kerinci volcano seen from the southern rim. The crater, which is located at the summit of Indonesia's highest volcano, is 450 m deep and is often contains a small lake.Photo by S. Wikartadipura, 1972 (published in Kusumadinata, 1979, "Data Dasar Gunungapi Indonesia").
A landslide in 1979, not associated with an eruption, originated from the northern end of the Iliwerung volcanic massif. The resulting debris avalanche swept into the Indian Ocean at a high velocity and produced a tsunami that scoured the shoreline of Lembata (Lomblen) Island, killing more than 500 people. The extent of the runup of the tsunami can be seen forming the flat barren area in the center of the photo, which was taken from the SW on 27 July 1979, shortly after the tsunami.Photo by Ruska Hadian, 1979 (Volcanological Survey of Indonesia).
The summit of Kelimutu volcano is elongated 2 km in a NNW-ESE direction, and contains three crater lakes of different colors that are one of the most popular tourist destinations on Flores Island. This view from the north shows the three crater lakes with Keli Bara cone in the background. Phreatic explosions have occurred from the middle lake in historical time.Copyrighted photo by Katia and Maurice Krafft, 1971.
The 1149-m-high elongated Tongkoko volcano, seen in this composite photo from the south, rises above Bitung city and is the NE-most volcano on the island of Sulawesi. The summit of the volcano, which is elongated in a NW-SE direction, contains a large crater with a central cone. Historical eruptions have occurred since 1680 from both the summit and an east flank vent, Batu Angus. Tongkoko volcano and its neighbor Dua Saudara are the most prominent features of Gunung Dua Saudara National Park, a noted wildlife preserve.Photo by A.R. Sumailani, 1973 (Volcanological Survey of Indonesia).
Lamongan volcano is located between the Tengger and Iyang-Argapura volcanic complexes. A cluster of 27 maars, many filled by lakes, and 37 scoria cones surround the volcano. Tarub is the volcano's highest peak to the left. Lamongan was frequently active during the 19th century, producing both explosive eruptions and lava flows.Photo by Tom Casadevall, 1987 (U.S. Geological Survey).
Islanders prepare to evacuate on 25 August 1985 as Sangeang Api volcano erupts in the background. The eruption began on 30 July and produced pyroclastic flows that eventually forced the evacuation of the island's entire 1,242 inhabitants.Photo by Tom Casadevall, 1985 (U.S. Geological Survey).
Gunung Lubukraya, seen here from the north, is latest Pleistocene to possibly Holocene age. A broad crater is breached to the south, and a prominent lava dome is on the southern flank of the volcano.Anonymous, 1991.
The prominent levees of a historical lava flow (center) are visible on the SE flank of Guntur. The rounded summit at the left is Gunung Guntur, the youngest peak of the volcanic complex. To the right are Gunung Batususun and Gunung Picung, part of the older massif.Photo published in Taverne, 1926 "Vulkaanstudien op Java," (courtesy of Volcanological Survey of Indonesia).
Gamalama volcano (also known as the Peak of Ternate), one of the most active volcanoes of Indonesia, forms Ternate Island, at the north end of a chain of islands off the west coast of Halmahera. The volcanic island was a central focus of the Portuguese and Dutch spice trade for several centuries. Three cones, progressively younger to the north, form its summit. Frequent eruptions have occurred since the 16th century, mostly from the summit vent, although flank eruptions have occurred on four occasions, most recently in 1962-63.Copyrighted photo by Katia and Maurice Krafft, 1976.
The 325-m-wide Kepundan Bongsu, one of several historically active craters at the summit of Sumatra's Marapi volcano, is the largest and westernmost of a chain of craters covering a 1.2-km-long E-W line. Marapi is one of Sumatra's most active volcanoes, producing numerous small-to-moderate explosive eruptions since the end of the 18th century.Photo by Gede Suantika, 1992 (Volcanological Survey of Indonesia).
The broad forested 8-km-wide island of Paluweh is seen here from off its NE coast. A rounded lava dome forms the summit of the volcano.Photo published in Kemmerling 1929, "Vulkanen van Flores" (courtesy of Volcanological Survey of Indonesia).
An outcrop in a quarry showing the internal structure of a debris avalanche hummock, with bedded layers of tephra on the right and a segment of a lava flow on the left. Both the massive lava and the unconsolidated tephra layers were transported relatively intact for about 30 km within a debris avalanche from Raung volcano in eastern Java. The preservation of original stratigraphy from within the volcano is a common feature of debris avalanche deposits.Photo by Lee Siebert, 1995 (Smithsonian Institution).
Iliboleng volcano at the SE end of Adonara Island, east of Flores Island, is a symmetrical stratovolcano with many partially overlapping summit craters. Iliboleng is seen here from Bukit Tomu, north of the volcano. Explosive eruptions from the summit crater have been recorded since 1885. Only one historical eruption, in 1888, produced a lava flow.Photo by Willem Rohi, 1994 (Volcanological Survey of Indonesia).
The degassing, growing lava dome of Merapi volcano on 20 January 1954, as viewed from the SE, two days after a major pyroclastic flow that caused 64 fatalities. Lava dome growth had begun on 2 March 1953, accompanied by frequent pyroclastic flows (block-and-ash flows). Several additional cycles of lava dome growth and destruction continued until December 1958.Photo by Suryo, 1954 (Volcanological Survey of Indonesia).
Forested Taman Saat crater, seen here in an aerial view from the south, is one of two summit craters at Gunung Patuha volcano. The steep-walled crater is about 350 m wide and 165 m deep. Photo published in Taverne, 1926 "Vulkaanstudien op Java," (courtesy of Volcanological Survey of Indonesia).

Teon Island, seen here from the south, is a roughly 15-km-wide island in the western Banda Sea. The 655-m-high forested summit rises 3700 m above the sea floor. Explosive eruptions, the most severe of which was in 1660, have been recorded since the 17th century from Teon (also known as Serawerna).Photo by Ruska Hadian, 1975 (Volcanological Survey of Indonesia).
Erosion of friable tephra deposits forming the Batok pyroclastic cone on the floor of Tengger caldera has created dramatic erosional furrows that reach from the summit to the base of the cone. Batok is one of the youngest of the post-caldera cones; charcoal from a scoria layer on the eastern flank of Batok was radiocarbon dated at about 360 years ago. Only the historically active cone of Bromo, from where this photo was taken, is younger.Copyrighted photo by Katia and Maurice Krafft, 1976.
Lewotobi Lakilaki (left) and Lewotobi Perempuan (right) rise above forests on their western flanks. They were constructed along a NW-SE-trending line. Both volcanoes have erupted during historical time but Lakilaki has been more active.Photo by Joël Boyer, 2004 (L.A.V.E.)
This view from the summit of Ternate Island shows the Halmahera Island volcanoes of Jailolo in the foreground, Gamkonora on the left, and flat-topped Ibu volcano on the right. Jailolo volcano has no known historical eruptions, but youthful lava flows are located on the eastern flank. Gamkonora is one of Halmahera's most active volcanoes, while Ibu, with its nested summit craters, one of which has a crater lake, has erupted only once in historical time, in 1911.Copyrighted photo by Katia and Maurice Krafft, 1976.
The roof of this house at Pasir Besar on the NW coast of Gunung Api Island collapsed as a result of the loading of ash and the impact of ballistic bombs from the May 9, 1988 eruption of Banda Api volcano. Tephra from the eruption was distributed primarily to the west. The barren slope in the background of this May 19 photo is the surface of the 1988 Pasir Besar lava flow, which descended to the sea from a vent on the northern flank.

The Cereme volcano, which overlooks the city of Cirebon, has a large summit crater as seen here from the south. The edifice was constructed on the northern rim of the 4.5 x 5 km Geger Halang caldera. Eruptions have included explosive activity and lahars that have primarily originated from the summit crater.Photo published in Taverne, 1926 "Vulkaanstudien op Java," (courtesy of Volcanological Survey of Indonesia).
Kelud volcano has been notorious for the repeated ejection of crater lake water during eruptions, producing devastating lahars. A series of tunnels and shafts were constructed in the 1920s to lower the lake level and reduce the hazards of eruptions. The initial tunnels lowered the lake level 50 m, but the 1951 eruption deepened the crater by 70 m, leaving 50 million m3 of water. Following another devastating eruption in 1966, lower outlet tunnels were constructed, and prior to the 1990 eruption the lake contained only 1 million m3 of water.Photo by John Dvorak, 1980 (U.S. Geological Survey).

The first recorded historical eruption took place during 1918-21, when explosive activity and pyroclastic flows accompanied lava dome growth.Photo by R.D. Erfan (Volcanological Survey of Indonesia).
Fumaroles line the walls of the summit crater of Egon. A lake occupies the floor of the crater in this 1920's view from the southern crater rim. The northern crater rim marks the summit of the volcano.Photo published in Kemmerling 1929, "Vulkanen van Flores" (courtesy of Volcanological Survey of Indonesia).
A plume rises above Egon volcano on 13 February 2005. Explosive eruptions on 6-7 February 2005 ejected ash and lapilli. On 14 February another explosion ejected ash and incandescent material to about 50 m above the summit. According to a news report, as of 17 February recent eruptive activity at Egon had prompted the local government to evacuate hundreds of residents living near the volcano. Minor ash plumes were reported during 25-27 February.Photo by Gede S., 2005 (Centre of Volcanology & Geological Hazard Mitigation, Volcanological Survey of Indonesia).
The debris-avalanche deposit produced by the 1772 collapse of Papandayan volcano contains abundant angular clasts including the sulfur-rich clast beneath the rock hammer, in a hydrothermally altered, clay-rich matrix. Extensive thermal alteration of rocks within the volcano had occurred prior to the collapse.Photo by Lee Siebert, 1995 (Smithsonian Institution).
The irregular summit of Raung volcano, seen here from near the village of Jampit in the caldera of neighboring Ijen volcano to its NE, is truncated by a 2-km-wide caldera. Frequent explosive eruptions during historical time keep the summit of the volcano unvegetated.Copyrighted photo by Katia and Maurice Krafft, 1976.
An ash plume rises on 30 June 1994 above Barujari, a cone on the floor of Rinjani's Segara Anak caldera. A small plume is visible to the lower right from a lava flow that began erupting during the earlier stages of the eruption.Photo courtesy of Volcanological Survey of Indonesia, 1994.
The modern Rajabasa edifice is composed of two edifices, the Rajabasa and Balerang cones, that formed within a 25-km-diameter caldera at the SSE tip of Sumatra Island. The complex is shown in this May 2019 Planet Labs satellite image monthly mosaic (N is at the top; the image is approximately 12 km across). The flanks are formed by lava flows erupted from the summit and flank vents, and flank collapse events have resulted in horseshoe-shaped scarps.Satellite image courtesy of Planet Labs Inc., 2019 (https://www.planet.com/).
The Gunung Anyar scoria cones were formed during an eruption in 1898 at 400 m elevation on the SW flank of Lamongan. The eruption began on 5 February. Activity slowed by the 7th, but the emission of two small lava flows continued, the largest of which traveled 300 m by the time it stopped on 15 February.Photo by Tom Casadevall, 1987 (U.S. Geological Survey).
An eruption plume rises from Tompaluan crater above the coastal city of Manado on June 22, 1959. This was part of intermittent eruptive activity from Lokon-Empung volcano that began on February 17, 1958 and lasted until December 23, 1959. Ash and incandescent material was frequently ejected, affecting nearby villages. The peak at the right is Gunung Tatawiran, a volcanic cone immediately to the west of the historically active Lokon-Empung volcanic complex.Photo courtesy of Volcanological Survey of Indonesia, 1959.
A lava dome (center) occupies the summit of Egon volcano. It is located in a narrow stretch of eastern Flores Island and its lower flanks extend nearly to both the Flores Sea to the N and the Savu Sea to the S. The unvegetated summit has a 350-m-wide, 200-m-deep crater that sometimes contains a lake. Other small crater lakes occur on the flanks.Photo by Volcanological Survey of Indonesia.
During an eruption in 1966-67, a lava dome was emplaced at the summit of Soputan. A blocky lava flow, seen here steaming along the right-hand skyline from the NE-flank cone of Aeseput, descended its flanks. The eruption began with a vulcanian explosion on May 21, and lava outflow began June 12-15, resumed again in November, and continued until November of the following year. An explosive eruption accompanied by pyroclastic flows took place on September 25, 1966.Photo by Ruska Hadian, 1973 (Volcanological Survey of Indonesia).
The Pleistocene Malabar volcano is shown here in this 16 November 2019 Sentinel-2 satellite image (N is at the top). It is located south of Bandung city and north of Wayang-Windu lava dome. The area in this image is approximately 15 km across.Satellite image courtesy of Copernicus Sentinel Data, 2019.
A new lava dome in the summit of Paluweh volcano is viewed from the north in 1964. An explosive eruption began on 31 December 1963 and the following day a lava dome was observed between the 1928 dome and the north crater wall. Occasional explosive eruptions accompanied by avalanches from the dome continued into 1966. On 16 March 1966 an event produced ashfall on the W side of the island, damaging cultivated areas.Photo by J. Matahelumual, 1964 (published in Kusumadinata 1979 "Data Dasar Gunungapi Indonesia").
The small island of Mare (left-center) lies between Tidore (top-center) and Moti (bottom-center) volcanoes in this NASA Landsat image (with north to the top). Mare is one of a chain of volcanic islands off the western coast of Halmahera Island (right). The 2 x 3 km island is elongated in a NE-SW direction, and a large breached crater is located off the SW tip of the island. NASA Landsat 7 image (worldwind.arc.nasa.gov)
Gunung Guntur at the right center is the youngest cone of the volcanic complex. It consists of a younger SW part consisting of cones lying along a NW-SE trend and an older, more eroded complex to the NW. Youthful lava flows can be seen on the lower right-hand flanks of Guntur, whose name means "thunder," a reflection of frequent eruptions in the 19th century.

Gunung Wurlali volcano rises above Teluk Kuluwati village on its southern flank. The 868-m-high stratovolcano (also known as Damar) rises 3800 m above the Banda Sea floor.Photo by S. Siswowidjojo, 1978 (Volcanological Survey of Indonesia).
A vigorous plinian eruption column, seen from the ENE side during the afternoon of May 9, rises above an arcuate fissure cutting both sides of Banda Api volcano. The plume reached a maximum height of 16.5 km, depositing blocks, pumice, and scoria primarily to the west.Photo by Shoji and Taeko Ozawa, 1988; courtesy of Tom Casadevall (U.S. Geological Survey).
Ash clouds rise above incandescent rockfall from collapse of a growing lava dome on February 15, 1988. Anak Ranakah dome began forming on December 28, 1987, in an area without previous historical activity. Dome growth continued into 1989.Copyrighted photo by Katia and Maurice Krafft, 1988.
The eroded Sekincau Belirang edifice is shown in this September Planet Labs satellite image monthly mosaic (N is at the top; this image is approximately 21 km across). The summit area has two calderas, Belirang and Balak, and active geothermal areas appear as white areas on the eastern flank.Satellite image courtesy of Planet Labs Inc., 2019 (https://www.planet.com/).
More than a decade after the powerful 1982-83 explosive eruption from Galunggung, the Warirang crater is filled by a lake that covers a late-stage scoria cone emplaced in the crater. A tunnel was constructed to stabilize the lake level and prevent overtopping and catastrophic breaching of the crater rim.Photo by Lee Siebert, 1995 (Smithsonian Institution).
This view from the east shows the N-S-trending crater complex of Inielika volcano. At the far left is Wolo Lega crater, and the 1905 crater is located just right of center. The high point at the center of the photo is Wawolika cone.Photo published in Kemmerling 1929, "Vulkanen van Flores" (courtesy of Volcanological Survey of Indonesia).
The peaks of Gunung Lewotobi have differing profiles, seen here from the SW. The summit of sharp-peaked Lewotobi Lakilaki (left) lies only 2 km NW of the broader summit of Lewotobi Perempuan. Both volcanoes have erupted during historical time.Photo published in Kemmerling 1929, "Vulkanen van Flores" (courtesy of Volcanological Survey of Indonesia).
