Gunung Api (656 meters) last erupted in 1988, threatening neighboring Banda Neira, Central Maluku, Indonesia.
"Lava flows dating from 1988 on the side of Gunung Api are clearly visible from Lonthoir on Banda Island, Central Maluku, Indonesia."
The volcanic cone of Gunung Api overlooks Fort Nassau (1608) in Banda Neira, Central Maluku, Indonesia. In 1621 the Dutch massacred the entire local population here to protect their nutmeg monopoly on the islands.
The sun sets over Gunung Api at Banda Neira, Central Maluku, Indonesia.
