Mount Kerinci, West Sumatera
Location: 1.7S, 101.3E
Elevation: 12,480 feet (3,805 m)
Kerinci is a stratovolcano on the island of Sumatra. Kerinci has erupted at least twenty times since 1838. The most recent confirmed eruption was in 1969-1970. An unconfirmed eruption was reported in 1971.
Most eruptions at Kerinci are small to moderate in size (VEI=1-2) and explosive. Because of the presence of the crater lake there have been several phreatic eruptions. Seismicity at Kerinci was dominated by small explosion earthquakes. On August 27 at 10:00, an ash plume was observed at a height of approximately 3.5 kilometers above sea level.
