FAQ
Indonesia has 43 catalogued volcanoes in the Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program dataset, 42 currently classified as active, and 30 have erupted since 2000. About 73.4 million people live within 30 km of one.
Our eruption-forecast model rates Semeru the most likely to erupt in the next 12 months in Indonesia, at roughly 34.2% (about one eruption every 2 years on average). This is a statistical estimate, not a prediction — follow official volcano-observatory advisories.
By population exposure — the number of people within 30 km weighted by eruption probability — the most dangerous volcano in Indonesia is Merapi, with about 3,500,000 people within 30 km and a modeled 28.3% one-year eruption probability.
The most recent eruption in our dataset for Indonesia was at Merapi in 2024.
