Mount Gamalama Taken from Little Tolire Lake #248754519
Description
Gamalama is a near-conical stratovolcano that comprises the entire Ternate island in Indonesia. The island lies off the western shore of Halmahera island in the north of the Maluku Islands. For centuries, Ternate was a center of Portuguese and Dutch forts for spice trade, which have accounted for thorough reports of Gamalama's volcanic activities. An eruption in 1775 caused the deaths of approximately 1300 people.
