Paluweh

About

Paluweh, also known as Rokatenda, is a stratovolcano that forms the small island of Palu'e, north of Flores Island in Sikka Regency in the province of East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. While the volcano rises about 3,000 m (9, 840 ft) above the sea floor, its cone rises just 875 metres (2, 871 ft) above sea level and is the highest point on the island. The broad summit region contains overlapping craters up to 900 m (2, 950 ft) wide along with several lava domes. Several flank vents occur along a northwest trending fissure.
