The Lesser Sunda Islands is a small archipelago which, from west to east, consists of Bali, Lombok, Sumbawa, Flores, Sumba and the Timor islands; all are located at the edge of the Australian continental shelf. Volcanoes in the area are formed because of oceanic crusts and the movement of the shelf itself.[19] Some volcanoes completely form an island, for instance, the Sangeang Api island. Mount Tambora, on Sumbawa island, erupted on 5 April 1815, with a scale 7 on the VEI and is considered the most violent eruption in recorded history. | Name | Shape | Elevation | Last eruption (VEI) | Geolocation | | (m) | (ft) | | Merbuk | tba | 1,386 | 4,547 | unknown | - | | Bratan | caldera | 2,276 | 7,467 | unknown | 8.28° S 115.13° E | | Batur | caldera | 1,717 | 5,633 | 15 March 1999 (1) | 8.242° S 115.375° E | | Agung | stratovolcano | 3,142 | 10,308 | 18 February 1963 (5) | 8.342° S 115.508° E | | Rinjani | stratovolcano | 3,726 | 12,224 | 1 October 2004 (2) | 8.42° S 116.47° E | | Tambora | stratovolcano | 2,850 | 9,350 | 1967 ± 20 years (0) | 8.25° S 118.00° E | | Sangeang Api | complex volcano | 1,949 | 6,394 | 30 July 1985 (3) | 8.20° S 119.07° E | | Wai Sano | caldera | 903 | 2,963 | unknown | 8.72° S 120.02° E | | Poco Leok | unknown | 1,675 | 5,495 | unknown | 8.68° S 120.48° E | | Ranakah | lava dome | 2,100 | 6,890 | March 1991 (1) | 8.62° S 120.52° E | | Inierie | stratovolcano | 2,245 | 7,365 | 8050 BC | 8.875° S 120.95° E | | Inielika | complex volcano | 1,559 | 5,115 | 11 January 2001 (2) | 8.73° S 120.98° E | | Ebulobo | stratovolcano | 2,124 | 6,969 | 27 February 1969 (2) | 8.82° S 121.18° E | | Iya | stratovolcano | 637 | 2,090 | 27 January 1969 (3) | 8.897° S 121.645° E | | Sukaria | caldera | 1,500 | 4,921 | unknown | 8.792° S 121.77° E | | Ndete Napu | fumarole | 750 | 2,461 | unknown | 8.72° S 121.78° E | | Kelimutu | complex volcano | 1,639 | 5,377 | 3 June 1968 (1) | 8.77° S 121.82° E | | Paluweh | stratovolcano | 875 | 2,871 | 3 February 1985 (1) | 8.32° S 121.708° E | | Egon | stratovolcano | 1,703 | 5,587 | 6 February 2005 (1) | 8.67° S 122.45° E | | Ilimuda | stratovolcano | 1,100 | 3,609 | unknown | 8.478° S 122.671° E | | Lewotobi | stratovolcano | 1,703 | 5,587 | 30 May 2003 (2) | 8.542° S 122.775° E | | Leroboleng | complex volcano | 1,117 | 3,665 | 26 June 2003 (3) | 8.358° S 122.842° E | | Riang Kotang | fumarole | 200 | 656 | unknown | 8.30° S 122.892° E | | Iliboleng | stratovolcano | 1,659 | 5,443 | June 1993 (1) | 8.342° S 123.258° E | | Lewotolo | stratovolcano | 1,423 | 4,669 | 15 December 1951 (2) | 8.272° S 123.505° E | | Ililabalekan | stratovolcano | 1,018 | 3,340 | unknown | 8.55° S 123.38° E | | Iliwerung | complex volcano | 1,018 | 3,340 | 22 May 1999 (0) | 8.53° S 123.57° E | | Batu Tara | stratovolcano | 748 | 2,454 | 1847 (2) | 7.792° S 123.579° E | | Sirung | complex volcano | 862 | 2,828 | 1970 (2) | 8.508° S 124.13° E | | Yersey | submarine | -3,800 | -12,467 | unknown | 7.53° S 123.95° E |
