Batu Tara, Stratovolcano on Pulau Komba, Indonesia

Batu Tara is a stratovolcano on Komba Island, a small isolated island in the Flores Sea. Vegetation covers its flanks, and the summit crater has produced explosions and lava flows during its recorded eruptions.

The first recorded eruption of Batu Tara began in 1847 and ended in 1852, producing explosions and lava flows. Indonesian sources date the first known eruption to 1852, when the volcano emitted lava. The most recent eruption took place in 2008.

The island is uninhabited, so no local community lives on or around Batu Tara itself; the volcano is watched from boats crossing the Flores Sea. Its name combines batu, "stone", with tara, and the peak is also called Gunung Batutara in Indonesian and Batutara in Welsh sources.

Reaching this volcano requires several hours by boat from a neighboring island, which limits the number of visitors. No facilities or fresh water sources are available on the volcanic island itself, so proper planning is essential.

The first recorded eruption began in 1847 and ended in 1852 with explosions and lava flows, while the Indonesian record dates the first known eruption to 1852. The last eruption reported was in 2008. Vegetation covers the flanks of the cone on Komba Island.
