Mount Serua

Mount Serua rises 608 meters above the Banda Sea, forming a volcanic island with steep slopes and natural vegetation covering its surface.

The volcanic activity in 1921 led to the complete evacuation of the island's inhabitants, who were subsequently relocated to the nearby Seram island.

The indigenous population of Serua Island developed their own Austronesian language, which reflected their distinct identity within the Maluku archipelago.

Access to Mount Serua requires boat transportation from other Maluku islands, with the village of Jerili serving as the main entry point.

The mountain stands as the sole elevation point on this small volcanic island, surrounded by underwater volcanoes in the Banda Sea.
