Mount Sourabaya, Volcanic mountain in Bristol Island, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.

Mount Sourabaya rises 915 meters above sea level on Bristol Island, featuring an active volcanic crater that periodically releases ash and lava.

The United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee designated this mountain in 1971, naming it after a whaling ship that observed its 1935 eruption.

Scientific research teams from multiple nations conduct geological studies of Mount Sourabaya to understand volcanic patterns in sub-Antarctic regions.

Satellite monitoring systems track Mount Sourabaya's volcanic activity, providing essential data for aviation safety in the South Atlantic region.

The mountain's 2016 eruption marked the first recorded volcanic activity at this location since 1956, producing visible lava flows and ash plumes.
