Mount Manuk

Mount Manuk rises 282 meters above sea level with a truncated cone shape and features an active crater at its summit in the Banda Sea.

The volcanic formation has influenced local settlement patterns throughout centuries, with sulfur mining operations previously conducted on the island's western slopes.

The indigenous populations of Maluku Islands maintain traditional beliefs and practices connected to the volcanic landscapes that shape their environment.

Access to Mount Manuk requires careful planning and coordination with local transportation services due to its remote location in the eastern Indonesian archipelago.

The volcano contains active solfataras on the western rim and within the crater, producing continuous sulfuric emissions that affect the surrounding environment.
