Marapi, Complex volcano in West Sumatra, Indonesia
Mount Marapi rises 2,885 meters above sea level, featuring steep slopes covered with dense vegetation and multiple craters at its summit.
The volcano demonstrated its power in September 1830 with an explosive eruption that reshaped the surrounding landscape and impacted local settlements.
The Minangkabau people maintain traditional stories about Mount Marapi, stating it emerged from the sea when their ancestors first arrived in the region.
Visitors can access the mountain through guided tours from Bukittinggi or Padang Panjang, with mandatory registration at the base camp before climbing.
The December 2023 eruption produced over 113 successive explosions through January 2024, leading to widespread ash dispersal and regional airport closures.
