Jailolo

Stratovolcano · Indonesia · 993m

The Jailolo volcanic complex (center) forms a roughly 10-km-long peninsula west of Jailolo Bay (bottom-right) in this NASA Landsat image (with north to the top). Jailolo stratovolcano in the center of the complex is flanked by small calderas to the west and SW. Kailupa cone forms the east side of the small island off the southern coast of the peninsula. Hot mudflows were reported from Jailolo volcano shortly prior to 1883, but no eruptions are known during historical time.

Geological summary

The Jailolo volcanic complex forms a peninsula west of Jailolo Bay on the western coast of Halmahera Island. The stratovolcano at the center of the complex has youthful lava flows on its E flank. Small calderas are located to the W and SW. The westernmost caldera, Idamdehe, truncates an older volcanic edifice. Hot springs occur along the NW coast of the caldera. Kailupa cone forms a small volcanic island off the southern coast of the peninsula. Hot mudflows were reported shortly prior to 1883, but no eruptions are known.

From Wikipedia

Jailolo is a stratovolcanic complex on a peninsula, west of Halmahera island. It has lava flows on the eastern flank, a small caldera at the west and south-west sides of the mountain, and hot springs along the north-west coast of the caldera. This small volcanic island was formed by the Kailupa cone, off the southern coast of the peninsula.
