Ebulobo

Ebulobo, also referred to as Amburombu or Keo Peak, is a symmetrical stratovolcano in central Flores Island. The summit of 2124-m-high Gunung Ebulobo cosists of a flat-topped lava dome. The 250-m-wide summit crater of the steep-sided volcano is breached on three sides. The Watu Keli lava flow traveled from the northern breach to 4 km from the summit in 1830, the first of only four recorded historical eruptions of the volcano.

Gunung Ebulobo (also known as Amburombu or Keo Peak) towers above the village of Boa Wae, located below the NW flank of the volcano. Ebulobo is a symmetrical 2124-m-high stratovolcano in central Flores Island with a flat-topped summit lava dome. Historical eruptions, recorded since 1830, include lava emission down the north flank and explosive eruptions from the summit crater.
