Mount Sinabung - The majestic volcano in Sumatra

Sinabung Volcano is a stratovolcano on the Karo Plateau in Northern Sumatra, 40 kilometers from Lake Toba Supervolcano. The majestic mountain with soaring heights of 2,460 meter has a total of four volcanic craters.

This volcano is still active and has erupted frequently in recent history. First in August 2010, then in 2013 eruptions occurred through September and November, and in 2014 it was particularly active, erupting during January, February and October. On June 26th 2015, a particularly big eruption meant that at least 10,000 people were evacuated to limit fatality. One year later in the May 2016 eruption, seven people were killed by deadly pyroclastic flow.
