Farmers cultivate land on the eastern flank of Gunung Sundoro in Java. The stratovolcano immediately NW of Sumbing volcano towers 2,500 m above its base. A small lava dome occupies the summit crater, which has fed lava flows in all directions. Historical eruptions typically have consisted of mild-to-moderate phreatic explosions, mostly from the summit crater, although flank vents were also active in 1882 and 1903.
