Amasing Hill

Amasing Hill rises to 1,030 meters as part of a complex featuring three andesitic stratovolcanoes on the western side of Halmahera Island.

The formation of Amasing Hill contributed to the geological development of Bacan Island, where two additional volcanoes, Cakasuanggi and Dua Saudara, emerged in the southeast.

Communities near Amasing Hill maintain agricultural practices influenced by the mineral-rich volcanic soil, which shapes their farming methods and land management.

Access to Amasing Hill requires careful planning and local guidance, as the infrastructure remains limited and weather conditions affect travel possibilities.

The volcanic complex includes the Sibela Mountains, which developed into a metamorphic formation through distinct geological processes.
