Mount Nila, Stratovolcano in Banda Sea, Indonesia

Mount Nila rises 781 meters from the Banda Sea, forming an isolated island that measures 5 by 6 kilometers in width.

The 1968 volcanic eruption of Mount Nila forced the complete evacuation of Rumadai village, marking the last recorded volcanic activity at this location.

The volcano stands in the Maluku Province, where local communities maintain strong connections to traditional Melanesian practices and customs.

Natural gas bubbles emerge from depths of 20 to 30 meters along the northern and western sections of the volcanic island.

The low caldera of Mount Nila features distinctive rim breaches that extend below the sea surface on both southern and eastern sides.

Elevation above the sea: 781 m

GPS coordinates: -6.73000,129.50000
