Lewotobi is a twin volcano located in the southeastern part of the island of Flores, Indonesia. It has two peaks; the Lewotobi Laki-laki (Male Lewotobi) and Lewotobi Perempuan (Female Lewotobi) stratovolcanoes. The more active Lewotobi Laki-laki is about 2.1 km (1.3 mi) northwest of the taller Lewotobi Perempuan.

Older forms of its name include Lobetabi,[1] Lovotivo[1] and Loby Toby.[2]

Eruptions

An eruption has been ongoing since 23 December 2023 in Lewotobi Laki-laki, displacing up to 6,500 people as of January 2024.[3] On 4 November 2024, the volcano spewed molten debris at several villages some 4 km (2.5 mi) away, destroying homes and killing at least ten.[4][5] The Centre of Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation recommended that a 7 km (4.3 mi) radius around the volcano be evacuated.[6] Seven villages were affected by the eruption.[7] A larger eruption occurred on 7 November.[8] On 8 November, the volcano erupted several times, one bearing an ash plume with a height reaching 10 km (6.2 mi).[9] On 9 November, it erupted again, scrambling authorities to evacuate approximately 16,000 people from nearby villages.[10] The eruption caused flight disruptions in Bali and the cancellation of a jazz festival in Labuan Bajo.[11]
