Mount Sindoro (or Mount Sundoro) is an active stratovolcano in Central Java, close to the Dieng Plateau, in Indonesia. Parasitic craters and cones are found in the northwest-southern flanks; the largest is called Kembang. A small lava dome occupies the volcano’s summit.

The volcano havent erupted since 1970 according to the Smithsonian Institute. This is the first time I have seen gas emissions from the volcano, and I have seen the volcano every year since 2012, from either the Dieng Plateau or the Yogyakarta region.
Behind Sindoro, the Sumbing volcano is visible.
