Bagging It!
This volcano is one of the most active in Indonesia. It is the highest point of Siau island in the Sangihe Islands off the north coast of mainland Sulawesi. It has five summit craters and a north peak and a slightly higher south peak. Trying to climb to the top is probably asking for a lot of trouble! However, a wander round the island is well worth it – there are boats several times a week from Manado. Basic accommodation is available in Ulu.
