About Mount Lewotobi
- It is a twin-peaked active volcano located on the tourist island of Flores in eastern Indonesia.
- It is situated along the famous ‘Ring of Fire’ in the Pacific region.
- It is one of the most frequently active volcanoes in the region.
- It has two peaks arranged on a NW-SE line separated by 2 km and a 1232 m high saddle. This gave the twin volcano its name, Lewotobi, “husband and wife”.
- The two peaks correspond to the Lewotobi Lakilaki (man) and Lewotobi Perempuan (woman) stratovolcanoes.
- Lewotobi Lakilaki (1584 m) has a summit crater of 400 m diameter open to the north. Lewotobi Perampuan (1703 m)’s crater is 700 m wide.
- Lewotobi Lakilaki has been frequently active during the 19th and 20th centuries, while the taller and broader Lewotobi Perempuan has erupted only twice in historical time.
- Small lava domes have grown during the 20th century in the summit craters of both volcanoes.
