The volcano reaches an elevation of 1,357 meters and features a wide summit caldera measuring 2 kilometers across with multiple craters and steep slopes.

The 1988 eruption produced an 8-kilometer-high ash column that extended 100 kilometers southwest, leading to the evacuation of 15,000 people to Moti Island.

The inhabitants of surrounding communities monitor the volcanic activity through generations of direct observation, adapting their daily lives to the geological environment.

Visitors need to check current volcanic activity reports with Indonesian authorities and obtain necessary permits before planning any exploration of the volcanic landscape.

Four parasitic cones on the western flank of the volcano create additional geological formations that contribute to the complex structure of the edifice.
