Gunung Dukono

The Dukono volcano rises to 1,335 meters above sea level, featuring multiple summit peaks and numerous overlapping craters across its broad structure.

In 1550, a substantial eruption generated lava flows that connected Halmahera island to Mount Mamuya's north flank cone, altering the regional geography.

Local Indonesian communities maintain traditional monitoring practices of Dukono's activity patterns, passing knowledge through generations about volcanic behavior interpretation.

Scientists track Dukono's persistent volcanic activity through satellite observations and ground-based instruments, providing data for eruption forecasting and safety measures.

Since 1933, Dukono has maintained continuous eruption status, producing regular ash plumes that reach heights of up to 2.5 kilometers into the atmosphere.
