Mount Egon, Stratovolcano in Sikka Regency, Indonesia.

Mount Egon stands at 1703 meters high in southeastern Flores Island, featuring a conical structure formed by layers of volcanic material and rocks.

The January 2004 eruption triggered a massive landslide that required the immediate evacuation of 6000 residents from the surrounding communities.

Local communities in the Sikka Regency maintain traditional practices and narratives that connect their daily lives with the presence of Mount Egon.

Visitors can access the volcano through designated hiking trails, with local guides available in nearby villages to lead expeditions to the summit.

The mountain contains fertile volcanic soil that enables agricultural production in the region, supporting the economic activities of nearby settlements.
