History
The first recorded eruption took place in 1586 and marked the beginning of a long series of volcanic events. Activity has continued across several centuries up to the present day.
Culture
Local Indonesian communities monitor the mountain conditions through traditional knowledge passed down through generations, supplementing modern volcanic observation methods.
