Jailolo

Stratovulcano · Indonesia · 993 m

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.

Sintesi geologica

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.
