Ruang, Stratovolcano in North Sulawesi, Indonesia.

Mount Ruang rises 725 meters above sea level as the southernmost volcano in the Sangihe Islands arc between North Sulawesi and Mindanao.

The volcano's 1871 eruption triggered a tsunami that destroyed villages on Tagulandang island, leading to substantial casualties and widespread damage to local plantations.

The mountain holds traditional significance for local communities, with many residents referring to both the island and volcano as Duang.

Visitors can reach Mount Ruang from Manado by taking a speedboat to Tagulandang island, followed by a local fishing boat to Desa Laengpalehi.

The summit area contains a 500-meter-wide crater with depths between 50 to 100 meters, surrounded by complex ravines where Maleo birds nest.

Elevation above the sea: 725 m

GPS coordinates: 2.30000,125.37000
