Mount Sirung

Mount Sirung rises 862 meters above sea level with a large sulphurous crater lake and multiple steam vents at its summit.

The volcano experienced its most substantial eruption in 1970, followed by continuous gas and clastic eruptions documented from 2004 onwards.

The local communities near Mount Sirung maintain traditional practices while adapting to modern life in the proximity of an active volcano.

Visitors can reach the crater rim through a hiking trail starting from Kakamauta village, following safety guidelines due to volcanic activity.

The crater contains an active hydrothermal system with numerous fumaroles releasing volcanic gases through the sulphurous lake surface.
