recorded identity is retained. The Atlas record is 2,441 m while the competent Badan Geologi/GVP exact-feature source reports 2,460 m; the this guide suppresses a single elevation metric rather than presenting either as uncontested.

Permits & local services

Alert Level 2 was reported on 28 October 2026. The exclusion zone was 3 km from the summit and 4 km on the southeast flank; check live PVMBG guidance before travel.

Sources and scope

Current safety and operational context as reported from PVMBG through Smithsonian/USGS; travelers must recheck live PVMBG information because conditions can change rapidly.

Geology & landscape

Pleistocene-to-Holocene composite stratovolcano with an andesitic-to-dacitic edifice and four overlapping summit craters.

Sources and scope

Geological summary from the authoritative volcano profile; no route or surface-condition inference.
