Nieuwerkerk, Submarine volcano in Banda Sea, Indonesia
Nieuwerkerk rises from the ocean floor as part of the NEC ridge formation, reaching a summit depth of 2,285 meters beneath sea level.
The submarine volcano demonstrated its active nature through an underwater eruption in 1927, marking its last recorded volcanic activity in the Banda Sea.
Marine researchers from Indonesia and international institutions regularly study this underwater formation to understand volcanic patterns in the Banda Sea region.
Scientific vessels need specialized deep-sea equipment and permits from Indonesian authorities to conduct research at this submarine volcanic site.
The volcano forms a distinctive geological partnership with the Emperor of China submarine volcano, creating the prominent NEC ridge on the ocean floor.
