The Weekly Volcanic Activity Report is a cooperative project between the
Smithsonian's Global Volcanism Program and the US Geological Survey's
Volcano Hazards Program. Updated by 2300 UTC every Wednesday, these reports
are preliminary and subject to change as events are studied in more detail.
This is not a comprehensive list of all of Earth's volcanoes erupting
during the week, but rather a summary of activity at volcanoes that meet
criteria discussed in detail in the "Criteria and Disclaimers" section.
Carefully reviewed, detailed reports about recent activity are published in
issues of the Bulletin of the Global Volcanism Network.
Note that many news agencies do not archive the articles they post on the
Internet, and therefore the links to some sources may not be active. To

Geologic Summary. The small, mostly unvegetated 3-km-wide island of
Chirinkotan occupies the far end of an E-W volcanic chain that extends
nearly 50 km W of the central part of the main Kuril Islands arc. It is the
emergent summit of a volcano that rises 3000 m from the floor of the Kuril
Basin. A small 1-km-wide caldera about 300-400 m deep is open to the SW.
Lava flows from a cone within the breached crater reached the shore of the
island. Historical eruptions have been recorded since the 18th century.
Lava flows were observed by the English fur trader Captain Snow in the
1880s.

raft that was first identified on 15 August had expanded to about 100 km to
the WNW and was about 13 km wide. Brown discoloration was visible
surrounding the new island, which had a variable shape but a consistent
diameter of 1 km by 16 August.

A local fisherman in the Ogasawara Islands who was fishing in South Iwo
Jima (5 km NNE) posted photos and videos on 17, 20, and 22 August that
showed strong white gas-and-steam plumes rising above the volcano. On 20
August lightning was visible within the gas-and-steam plume. On 22 August
the plume was observed during 0430-0630.
Geologic Summary. Fukutoku-Oka-no-ba is a submarine volcano located 5 km NE
of the pyramidal island of Minami-Ioto. Water discoloration is frequently
observed from the volcano, and several ephemeral islands have formed in the
20th century. The first of these formed Shin-Ioto ("New Sulfur Island") in
1904, and the most recent island was formed in 1986. The volcano is part of
an elongated edifice with two major topographic highs trending NNW-SSE, and
is a trachyandesitic volcano geochemically similar to Ioto.

were raised to Orange and Watch, respectively.
Geologic Summary. Kilauea, which overlaps the E flank of the massive Mauna
Loa shield volcano, has been Hawaii's most active volcano during historical
time. Eruptions are prominent in Polynesian legends; written documentation
extending back to only 1820 records frequent summit and flank lava flow
eruptions that were interspersed with periods of long-term lava lake
activity that lasted until 1924 at Halemaumau crater, within the summit
caldera. The 3 x 5 km caldera was formed in several stages about 1500 years
ago and during the 18th century; eruptions have also originated from the
lengthy East and SW rift zones, which extend to the sea on both sides of
the volcano. About 90% of the surface of the basaltic shield volcano is
formed of lava flows less than about 1100 years old; 70% of the volcano's
surface is younger than 600 years. A long-term eruption from the East rift
zone that began in 1983 has produced lava flows covering more than 100 km2,
destroying nearly 200 houses and adding new coastline to the island.

Geologic Summary. The Krýsuvík-Trölladyngja volcanic system is described by
the Catalogue of Icelandic Volcanoes as an approximately 50-km-long
composite fissure swarm trending about N38°E, including a 30-km-long swarm
of fissures, with no central volcano. It is one of the volcanic systems
arranged en-echelon along the Reykjanes Peninsula west of Kleifarvatn lake.
The Fagradalsfjall and Krýsuvík fissure swarms are considered splits or
secondary swarms of the Krýsuvíkâ??Trölladyngja volcanic system. Small shield
volcanoes have produced a large portion of the erupted volume within the
system. Several eruptions have taken place since the settlement of Iceland,
including the eruption of a large basaltic lava flow from the Ogmundargigar
crater row around the 12th century. The latest eruption, identified through
tephrochronology, took place during the 14th century.

Geologic Summary. The most active volcano of the Aleutian arc, Pavlof is a
2519-m-high Holocene stratovolcano that was constructed along a line of
vents extending NE from the Emmons Lake caldera. Pavlof and its twin
volcano to the NE, 2142-m-high Pavlof Sister, form a dramatic pair of
symmetrical, glacier-covered stratovolcanoes that tower above Pavlof and
Volcano bays. A third cone, Little Pavlof, is a smaller volcano on the SW
flank of Pavlof volcano, near the rim of Emmons Lake caldera. Unlike Pavlof
Sister, Pavlof has been frequently active in historical time, typically
producing Strombolian to Vulcanian explosive eruptions from the summit
vents and occasional lava flows. The active vents lie near the summit on
the north and east sides. The largest historical eruption took place in
1911, at the end of a 5-year-long eruptive episode, when a fissure opened
on the N flank, ejecting large blocks and issuing lava flows.

Geologic Summary. The uninhabited Whakaari/White Island is the 2 x 2.4 km
emergent summit of a 16 x 18 km submarine volcano in the Bay of Plenty
about 50 km offshore of North Island. The island consists of two
overlapping andesitic-to-dacitic stratovolcanoes. The SE side of the crater
is open at sea level, with the recent activity centered about 1 km from the
shore close to the rear crater wall. Volckner Rocks, sea stacks that are
remnants of a lava dome, lie 5 km NW. Descriptions of volcanism since 1826
have included intermittent moderate phreatic, phreatomagmatic, and
Strombolian eruptions; activity there also forms a prominent part of Maori
legends. The formation of many new vents during the 19th and 20th centuries
caused rapid changes in crater floor topography. Collapse of the crater
wall in 1914 produced a debris avalanche that buried buildings and workers
at a sulfur-mining project. Explosive activity in December 2019 took place
while tourists were present, resulting in many fatalities. The official
government name Whakaari/White Island is a combination of the full Maori
name of Te Puia o Whakaari ("The Dramatic Volcano") and White Island
(referencing the constant steam plume) given by Captain James Cook in 1769.

Geologic Summary. The largest volcanic center in the central Aleutians,
Atka consists of a central shield and Pleistocene caldera with several
post-caldera volcanoes. A major dacitic explosive eruption accompanied
formation of the caldera about 500,000 to 300,000 years ago. The most
prominent of the post-caldera stratovolcanoes are Kliuchef and Sarichef,
both of which may have been active in historical time. Sarichef has a
symmetrical profile, but the less eroded Kliuchef is the source of most if
not all historical eruptions. Kliuchef may have been active on occasion
simultaneously with Korovin volcano to the north. Hot springs and fumaroles
are located on the flanks of Mount Kliuchef and in a glacial valley SW of
Kliuchef.

Geologic Summary. The flat-topped summit of the central cone of Ebeko
volcano, one of the most active in the Kuril Islands, occupies the northern
end of Paramushir Island. Three summit craters located along a SSW-NNE line
form Ebeko volcano proper, at the northern end of a complex of five
volcanic cones. Blocky lava flows extend west from Ebeko and SE from the
neighboring Nezametnyi cone. The eastern part of the southern crater
contains strong solfataras and a large boiling spring. The central crater
is filled by a lake about 20 m deep whose shores are lined with steaming
solfataras; the northern crater lies across a narrow, low barrier from the
central crater and contains a small, cold crescentic lake. Historical
activity, recorded since the late-18th century, has been restricted to
small-to-moderate explosive eruptions from the summit craters. Intense
fumarolic activity occurs in the summit craters, on the outer flanks of the
cone, and in lateral explosion craters.

downwind in Panimaché I and II (8 km SW), Morelia (9 km SW), Santa Sofía

NW). White gas-and-steam plumes rose to 4.5 km (14,764 ft) a.s.l. on 19 and
25 August. Shock waves often rattled buildings around the volcano as far as
15 km from the summit. Block avalanches accompanied the explosions,
descending the Santa Teresa, Ceniza (SSW), Taniluyá (SW), Trinidad (S),
Seca (W), Las Lajas (SE), and Honda drainages, sometimes reaching vegetated
areas. Incandescent ejecta was visible rising 100-400 m above the summit
during the nights and early mornings of 20-23 August.
Geologic Summary. Volcán Fuego, one of Central America's most active
volcanoes, is also one of three large stratovolcanoes overlooking
Guatemala's former capital, Antigua. The scarp of an older edifice, Meseta,
lies between Fuego and Acatenango to the north. Construction of Meseta
dates back to about 230,000 years and continued until the late Pleistocene
or early Holocene. Collapse of Meseta may have produced the massive
Escuintla debris-avalanche deposit, which extends about 50 km onto the
Pacific coastal plain. Growth of the modern Fuego volcano followed,
continuing the southward migration of volcanism that began at the mostly
andesitic Acatenango. Eruptions at Fuego have become more mafic with time,
and most historical activity has produced basaltic rocks. Frequent vigorous
historical eruptions have been recorded since the onset of the Spanish era
in 1524, and have produced major ashfalls, along with occasional
pyroclastic flows and lava flows.

remained at Orange and Watch, respectively.
Geologic Summary. The Great Sitkin volcano forms much of the northern side
of Great Sitkin Island. A younger parasitic volcano capped by a small, 0.8
x 1.2 km ice-filled summit caldera was constructed within a large
late-Pleistocene or early Holocene scarp formed by massive edifice failure
that truncated an ancestral volcano and produced a submarine debris
avalanche. Deposits from this and an older debris avalanche from a source
to the south cover a broad area of the ocean floor north of the volcano.
The summit lies along the eastern rim of the younger collapse scarp.
Deposits from an earlier caldera-forming eruption of unknown age cover the
flanks of the island to a depth up to 6 m. The small younger caldera was
partially filled by lava domes emplaced in 1945 and 1974, and five small
older flank lava domes, two of which lie on the coastline, were constructed
along northwest- and NNW-trending lines. Hot springs, mud pots, and
fumaroles occur near the head of Big Fox Creek, south of the volcano.
Historical eruptions have been recorded since the late-19th century.

The Alert Level remained at a 2 (on a scale of 1-4), and the public was
warned to stay at least 2 km away from the active crater and 3.5 km away on
the N side.
Geologic Summary. The truncated summit of Gunung Ibu stratovolcano along
the NW coast of Halmahera Island has large nested summit craters. The inner
crater, 1 km wide and 400 m deep, has contained several small crater lakes.
The 1.2-km-wide outer crater is breached on the N, creating a steep-walled
valley. A large cone grew ENE of the summit, and a smaller one to the WSW
has fed a lava flow down the W flank. A group of maars is located below the
N and W flanks. The first observed and recorded eruption was a small
explosion from the summit crater in 1911. Eruptive activity began again in
December 1998, producing a lava dome that eventually covered much of the
floor of the inner summit crater along with ongoing explosive ash emissions.

Geologic Summary. The 2-km-wide island of Kadovar is the emergent summit of
a Bismarck Sea stratovolcano of Holocene age. It is part of the Schouten
Islands, and lies off the coast of New Guinea, about 25 km N of the mouth
of the Sepik River. Prior to an eruption that began in 2018, a lava dome
formed the high point of the andesitic volcano, filling an arcuate
landslide scarp open to the south; submarine debris-avalanche deposits
occur in that direction. Thick lava flows with columnar jointing forms low
cliffs along the coast. The youthful island lacks fringing or offshore
reefs. A period of heightened thermal phenomena took place in 1976. An
eruption began in January 2018 that included lava effusion from vents at
the summit and at the E coast.

Geologic Summary. Karymsky, the most active volcano of Kamchatka's eastern
volcanic zone, is a symmetrical stratovolcano constructed within a
5-km-wide caldera that formed during the early Holocene. The caldera cuts
the south side of the Pleistocene Dvor volcano and is located outside the
north margin of the large mid-Pleistocene Polovinka caldera, which contains
the smaller Akademia Nauk and Odnoboky calderas. Most seismicity preceding
Karymsky eruptions originated beneath Akademia Nauk caldera, located
immediately south. The caldera enclosing Karymsky formed about 7600-7700
radiocarbon years ago; construction of the stratovolcano began about 2000
years later. The latest eruptive period began about 500 years ago,
following a 2300-year quiescence. Much of the cone is mantled by lava flows
less than 200 years old. Historical eruptions have been vulcanian or
vulcanian-strombolian with moderate explosive activity and occasional lava

and drifted WNW. A thermal anomaly was observed at the summit based on
satellite imagery on 20 August.
Geologic Summary. Langila, one of the most active volcanoes of New Britain,
consists of a group of four small overlapping composite basaltic-andesitic
cones on the lower E flank of the extinct Talawe volcano in the Cape
Gloucester area of NW New Britain. A rectangular, 2.5-km-long crater is
breached widely to the SE; Langila was constructed NE of the breached
crater of Talawe. An extensive lava field reaches the coast on the N and NE
sides of Langila. Frequent mild-to-moderate explosive eruptions, sometimes
accompanied by lava flows, have been recorded since the 19th century from
three active craters at the summit. The youngest and smallest crater (no. 3
crater) was formed in 1960 and has a diameter of 150 m.

Geologic Summary. The Lewotolok (or Lewotolo) stratovolcano occupies the
eastern end of an elongated peninsula extending north into the Flores Sea,
connected to Lembata (formerly Lomblen) Island by a narrow isthmus. It is
symmetrical when viewed from the north and east. A small cone with a
130-m-wide crater constructed at the SE side of a larger crater forms the
volcano's high point. Many lava flows have reached the coastline. Eruptions
recorded since 1660 have consisted of explosive activity from the summit
crater.

avalanches were observed 172 times to the SW, traveling up to 2 km. BNPB
noted that ashfall was reported in several areas on 16 August, including
Dukun, Sawangan, Tegalrejo, Secang, Gowok, Mertoyudan, Selo, Mojotengah,
Temanggung, Kedu, Pringsurat, Bulu, Tlogomulyo, Kranggan, and Parakan.

PVMBG reported that during 18-19 and 23-24 August white plumes rose 20-200
m above the crater and drifted in different directions. As many as 331 lava
avalanches traveled a maximum distance of 1.5 km SW. Two pyroclastic flows
moved as far as 2 km, though the direction was not observed. The Alert
Level remained at a 3 (on a scale of 1-4), and the public was warned to
stay 5 km away from the summit.
Geologic Summary. Merapi, one of Indonesia's most active volcanoes, lies in
one of the world's most densely populated areas and dominates the landscape
immediately north of the major city of Yogyakarta. It is the youngest and
southernmost of a volcanic chain extending NNW to Ungaran volcano. Growth
of Old Merapi during the Pleistocene ended with major edifice collapse
perhaps about 2,000 years ago, leaving a large arcuate scarp cutting the
eroded older Batulawang volcano. Subsequent growth of the steep-sided Young
Merapi edifice, its upper part unvegetated due to frequent activity, began
SW of the earlier collapse scarp. Pyroclastic flows and lahars accompanying
growth and collapse of the steep-sided active summit lava dome have
devastated cultivated lands on the western-to-southern flanks and caused
many fatalities.

reported that white-to-blue gas-and-steam emissions rose as high as 600 m
above Pacayaâ??s Mackenney crater and drifted as far as 2 km S, SW, and N
during 18-25 August. Seismic stations recorded some weak explosion and
degassing events on 18 August.
Geologic Summary. Eruptions from Pacaya, one of Guatemala's most active
volcanoes, are frequently visible from Guatemala City, the nation's
capital. This complex basaltic volcano was constructed just outside the
southern topographic rim of the 14 x 16 km Pleistocene Amatitlán caldera. A
cluster of dacitic lava domes occupies the southern caldera floor. The
post-caldera Pacaya massif includes the ancestral Pacaya Viejo and Cerro
Grande stratovolcanoes and the currently active Mackenney stratovolcano.
Collapse of Pacaya Viejo between 600 and 1500 years ago produced a
debris-avalanche deposit that extends 25 km onto the Pacific coastal plain
and left an arcuate somma rim inside which the modern Pacaya volcano
(Mackenney cone) grew. A subsidiary crater, Cerro Chino, was constructed on
the NW somma rim and was last active in the 19th century. During the past
several decades, activity has consisted of frequent strombolian eruptions
with intermittent lava flow extrusion that has partially filled in the
caldera moat and armored the flanks of Mackenney cone, punctuated by
occasional larger explosive eruptions that partially destroy the summit of
the growing young stratovolcano.

flow was reported traveling down the NE flank during 17-18 August.
Geologic Summary. Reventador is the most frequently active of a chain of
Ecuadorian volcanoes in the Cordillera Real, well east of the principal
volcanic axis. The forested, dominantly andesitic Volcán El Reventador
stratovolcano rises to 3562 m above the jungles of the western Amazon
basin. A 4-km-wide caldera widely breached to the east was formed by
edifice collapse and is partially filled by a young, unvegetated
stratovolcano that rises about 1300 m above the caldera floor to a height
comparable to the caldera rim. It has been the source of numerous lava
flows as well as explosive eruptions that were visible from Quito in
historical time. Frequent lahars in this region of heavy rainfall have
constructed a debris plain on the eastern floor of the caldera. The largest
historical eruption took place in 2002, producing a 17-km-high eruption
column, pyroclastic flows that traveled up to 8 km, and lava flows from
summit and flank vents.

rising 570-1,500 m above the volcano and drifting W and SW during 19-21 and
23-24 August. During the evening on 19 August explosions accompanied by
incandescent blocks were reported around 1852 rolling down the SE drainage.
Signals indicating lahars were recorded by the seismic network during 18-19
and 22-23 August.
Geologic Summary. The isolated Sangay volcano, located east of the Andean
crest, is the southernmost of Ecuador's volcanoes and its most active. The
steep-sided, glacier-covered, dominantly andesitic volcano grew within
horseshoe-shaped calderas of two previous edifices, which were destroyed by
collapse to the east, producing large debris avalanches that reached the
Amazonian lowlands. The modern edifice dates back to at least 14,000 years
ago. It towers above the tropical jungle on the east side; on the other
sides flat plains of ash have been sculpted by heavy rains into
steep-walled canyons up to 600 m deep. The earliest report of a historical
eruption was in 1628. More or less continuous eruptions were reported from
1728 until 1916, and again from 1934 to the present. The almost constant
activity has caused frequent changes to the morphology of the summit crater
complex.

flow 600 m long extended down the W and S flanks of the dome during 18-24
August. Collapses of blocky lava from the Caliente dome generated
block-and-ash avalanches down the W, S, and SW flanks, often reaching the
base and causing minor ashfall on the flanks. Weak explosions accompanied
these avalanches on 21 August and generated abundant gas-and-steam
emissions. Nighttime incandescence was often observed from the lava flow
and dome.
Geologic Summary. Symmetrical, forest-covered Santa María volcano is part
of a chain of large stratovolcanoes that rise above the Pacific coastal
plain of Guatemala. The sharp-topped, conical profile is cut on the SW
flank by a 1.5-km-wide crater. The oval-shaped crater extends from just
below the summit to the lower flank, and was formed during a catastrophic
eruption in 1902. The renowned Plinian eruption of 1902 that devastated
much of SW Guatemala followed a long repose period after construction of
the large basaltic-andesite stratovolcano. The massive dacitic Santiaguito
lava-dome complex has been growing at the base of the 1902 crater since
1922. Compound dome growth at Santiaguito has occurred episodically from
four vents, with activity progressing W towards the most recent, Caliente.
Dome growth has been accompanied by almost continuous minor explosions,
with periodic lava extrusion, larger explosions, pyroclastic flows, and
lahars.

| Eastern Java (Indonesia) | 8.108°S, 112.922°E | Summit elev. 3657 m
PVMBG reported that a vertical gray-and-white plume from Semeru rose
400-500 m above the summit and drifted SW on 19 August. This eruption
continued during 20-24 August, but the height of the plume was not observed
due to cloud cover. The Alert Level remained at 2 (on a scale of 1-4), with
a general exclusion zone of 1 km and extensions to 5 km in the SSE sector.
Geologic Summary. Semeru, the highest volcano on Java, and one of its most
active, lies at the southern end of a volcanic massif extending north to
the Tengger caldera. The steep-sided volcano, also referred to as Mahameru
(Great Mountain), rises above coastal plains to the south. Gunung Semeru
was constructed south of the overlapping Ajek-ajek and Jambangan calderas.
A line of lake-filled maars was constructed along a N-S trend cutting
through the summit, and cinder cones and lava domes occupy the eastern and
NE flanks. Summit topography is complicated by the shifting of craters from
NW to SE. Frequent 19th and 20th century eruptions were dominated by
small-to-moderate explosions from the summit crater, with occasional lava
flows and larger explosive eruptions accompanied by pyroclastic flows that
have reached the lower flanks of the volcano.

remained at Watch.
Geologic Summary. Semisopochnoi, the largest subaerial volcano of the
western Aleutians, is 20 km wide at sea level and contains an 8-km-wide
caldera. It formed as a result of collapse of a low-angle, dominantly
basaltic volcano following the eruption of a large volume of dacitic
pumice. The high point of the island is Anvil Peak, a double-peaked
late-Pleistocene cone that forms much of the island's northern part. The
three-peaked Mount Cerberus was constructed within the caldera during the
Holocene. Each of the peaks contains a summit crater; lava flows on the N
flank of Cerberus appear younger than those on the south side. Other
post-caldera volcanoes include the symmetrical Sugarloaf Peak SSE of the
caldera and Lakeshore Cone, a small cinder cone at the edge of Fenner Lake
in the NE part of the caldera. Most documented eruptions have originated
from Cerberus, although Coats (1950) considered that both Sugarloaf and
Lakeshore Cone could have been recently active.

Geologic Summary. The high, isolated massif of Sheveluch volcano (also
spelled Shiveluch) rises above the lowlands NNE of the Kliuchevskaya
volcano group. The 1300 km3 volcano is one of Kamchatka's largest and most
active volcanic structures. The summit of roughly 65,000-year-old Stary
Shiveluch is truncated by a broad 9-km-wide late-Pleistocene caldera
breached to the south. Many lava domes dot its outer flanks. The Molodoy
Shiveluch lava dome complex was constructed during the Holocene within the
large horseshoe-shaped caldera; Holocene lava dome extrusion also took
place on the flanks of Stary Shiveluch. At least 60 large eruptions have
occurred during the Holocene, making it the most vigorous andesitic volcano
of the Kuril-Kamchatka arc. Widespread tephra layers from these eruptions
have provided valuable time markers for dating volcanic events in
Kamchatka. Frequent collapses of dome complexes, most recently in 1964,
have produced debris avalanches whose deposits cover much of the floor of
the breached caldera.

reported ash plumes to 1.5-3.9 km (5,000-13,000 ft) altitude that drifted
NE during 18-25 August. The Alert Level remained at 2 and the public was
warned to stay 1 km away from the crater.
Geologic Summary. The 8-km-long, spindle-shaped island of Suwanosejima in
the northern Ryukyu Islands consists of an andesitic stratovolcano with two
historically active summit craters. The summit is truncated by a large
breached crater extending to the sea on the east flank that was formed by
edifice collapse. Suwanosejima, one of Japan's most frequently active
volcanoes, was in a state of intermittent strombolian activity from Otake,
the NE summit crater, that began in 1949 and lasted until 1996, after which
periods of inactivity lengthened. The largest historical eruption took
place in 1813-14, when thick scoria deposits blanketed residential areas,
and the SW crater produced two lava flows that reached the western coast.
At the end of the eruption the summit of Otake collapsed forming a large
debris avalanche and creating the horseshoe-shaped Sakuchi caldera, which
extends to the eastern coast. The island remained uninhabited for about 70
years after the 1813-1814 eruption. Lava flows reached the eastern coast of
the island in 1884. Only about 50 people live on the island.

Geologic Summary. Taal is one of the most active volcanoes in the
Philippines and has produced some of its most powerful historical
eruptions. Though not topographically prominent, its prehistorical
eruptions have greatly changed the landscape of SW Luzon. The 15 x 20 km
Talisay (Taal) caldera is largely filled by Lake Taal, whose 267 km2
surface lies only 3 m above sea level. The maximum depth of the lake is 160
m, and several eruptive centers lie submerged beneath the lake. The
5-km-wide Volcano Island in north-central Lake Taal is the location of all
historical eruptions. The island is composed of coalescing small
stratovolcanoes, tuff rings, and scoria cones that have grown about 25% in
area during historical time. Powerful pyroclastic flows and surges from
historical eruptions have caused many fatalities.

| Eastern Java (Indonesia) | 7.942°S, 112.95°E | Summit elev. 2329 m
PVMBG reported that during 18-24 August white gas-and-steam plumes rose
50-400 m above Tengger Calderaâ??s Bromo cone and drifted SW, W, and NW. A
weak thermal anomaly was visible in Sentinel-2 infrared satellite images on
23 August. The Alert Level remained at 2 (on a scale of 1-4), and visitors
were warned to stay outside of a 1-km radius of the crater.
Geologic Summary. The 16-km-wide Tengger caldera is located at the northern
end of a volcanic massif extending from Semeru volcano. The massive
volcanic complex dates back to about 820,000 years ago and consists of five
overlapping stratovolcanoes, each truncated by a caldera. Lava domes,
pyroclastic cones, and a maar occupy the flanks of the massif. The
Ngadisari caldera at the NE end of the complex formed about 150,000 years
ago and is now drained through the Sapikerep valley. The most recent of the
calderas is the 9 x 10 km wide Sandsea caldera at the SW end of the
complex, which formed incrementally during the late Pleistocene and early
Holocene. An overlapping cluster of post-caldera cones was constructed on
the floor of the Sandsea caldera within the past several thousand years.
The youngest of these is Bromo, one of Java's most active and most
frequently visited volcanoes.
