Kelut, Active volcano in East Java, Indonesia

Mount Kelut stands at the border of Kediri, Blitar, and Malang regencies, featuring a crater lake and multiple peaks including Gajahmungkur and Sumbing.

Since 1300 CE, Kelut has recorded more than 30 eruptions, with the 1586 eruption causing over 10,000 fatalities among the local population.

Local communities near Mount Kelut conduct traditional ceremonies and rituals to seek protection during periods of volcanic activity.

The volcano monitoring system installed at Mount Kelut helps authorities track volcanic activities and implement evacuation procedures when necessary.

The 2007 phreatic eruption created a lava dome that blocked the crater lake, transforming it into a small water pool until 2014.
