Gamalama

This volcano is the highest peak of Ternate island – indeed it comprises the whole island itself. Ternate was a very important place during the spice trades and the activity of this volcano was recorded by early explorers. It remains very active, most recently erupting in 2015, and Ternate residents often have to evacuate to neighbouring Tidore island.

Gamkonora is the highest peak of Halmahera. Its largest historical eruption, in 1673, was accompanied by tsunamis that inundated villages. It is a spectacular mountain with an extraordinary crater and towering walls on each side, open ridges below the summit, and fantastic views along the west coast of Halmahera with its many off-shore islands, north to neighbouring Gunung Ibu, north-east to Gunung Dukono behind Tobelo in the far distance and south to Gunungs Gamalama, Kiematubu and Makian. .
