Is Inielika erupting right now?

There is no open NASA EONET event for Inielika right now. NOAA NCEI dates its most recent eruption to 1900–1963. Volcano observatories can raise alert levels before an eruption starts, so check the national observatory for the current alert level.

NASA FIRMS shows 1 thermal hot spot within 10 km of the summit in the latest VIIRS satellite passes (strongest 7.4 MW fire radiative power). Hot spots on a volcano can be lava, a glowing vent or ordinary vegetation fires; satellites cannot tell them apart on their own.

Earthquakes near Inielika

USGS has no earthquake within 50 km of Inielika in the past 30 days. Outside the United States USGS mainly lists quakes above about M4, so small volcanic tremors recorded by the local observatory will not appear here.

About Inielika

Inielika is a complex volcano in Lesser Sunda Is, Indonesia, rising to 1,559 m (5,115 ft). NOAA NCEI classes its eruptive history as "Historical".

Complex volcanoes have several vents or overlapping cones, so activity can shift between craters.

The nearest large town is Labuan Bajo, about 123 km WNW of the summit; 1 other city lie within 250 km.

Flights and volcanic ash

No major hub airport is within 400 km (the closest is Soekarno–Hatta, 1606 km away), but ash clouds from explosive eruptions can drift for thousands of kilometres along flight routes.

Volcanic Ash Advisory Centres (VAACs) issue the official ash advisories that airlines and air traffic control follow.

Other volcanoes in Indonesia

Indonesia has 66 volcanoes on this site that erupted since 1900 or are active now, 7 of them with an open NASA activity report today. The closest other one is Ebulobo, 25 km away.
