Mount Agung, Stratovolcano in Karangasem, Indonesia.
The active volcano rises 3,031 meters above sea level on Bali island, featuring steep slopes formed by layers of hardened lava and volcanic debris.
The 1963 eruption expelled debris 10 kilometers into the atmosphere, creating pyroclastic flows that affected numerous villages and caused 1,500 casualties.
The mountain represents Mount Meru in Balinese Hindu beliefs, with the Pura Besakih temple complex standing on its slopes as the main spiritual center.
The Indonesian National Disaster Management Authority maintains a 12-kilometer exclusion zone around the volcano during periods of increased activity.
Mount Agung influences Bali's climate patterns, creating a distinct division between the wetter southern regions and drier northern areas of the island.
