Iliboleng

Iliboleng is a stratovolcano on Adonara Island with steep slopes made of basalt rock. The mountain's structure was built up over time through repeated eruptions that layered volcanic material on top of one another.

Scientists have documented multiple eruptions at Iliboleng that have shaped understanding of Indonesian volcanic activity. These events have contributed to knowledge about how volcanoes in this region behave over time.

People on Adonara Island view the volcano as part of their environment and incorporate it into local beliefs and daily life. The mountain shapes how the community relates to their surroundings.

You can reach the volcano by following local paths from nearby villages, with transportation available from major ports on Flores Island. Visitors should plan to use local guides who know the routes and can help with navigation.

The volcanic soil creates a special environment where certain plants thrive in the mineral-rich ground. This vegetation stands out from the rest of the island and draws the interest of those who enjoy nature.
