Iliboleng

Stratovolcano · Indonesia · 1659m

Iliboleng volcano at the SE end of Adonara Island, east of Flores Island, is a symmetrical stratovolcano with many partially overlapping summit craters. Iliboleng is seen here from Bukit Tomu, north of the volcano. Explosive eruptions from the summit crater have been recorded since 1885. Only one historical eruption, in 1888, produced a lava flow.

Geological summary

Iliboleng stratovolcano was constructed at the SE end of Adonara Island across a narrow strait from Lomblen Island. The volcano is capped by multiple, partially overlapping summit craters. Lava flows modify its profile, and a cone low on the SE flank, Balile, has also produced lava flows. Historical eruptions, first recorded in 1885, have consisted of moderate explosive activity, with lava flows accompanying only the 1888 eruption.
