Mount Galunggung (Indonesian: Gunung Galunggung, formerly spelled Galoen-gong) is an active stratovolcano in West Java, Indonesia, around 80 km (50 mi) southeast of the West Java provincial capital, Bandung (or around 25 km (16 mi) to the east of the West Java town of Garut). Mount Galunggung is part of the Sunda Arc extending through Sumatra, Java and Bali, which has resulted from the subduction of the Australian plate beneath the Eurasian plate.
For the first time since 1921 after eruptions finished and conditions
seemed normal, on February 12, 2012 the status was upgraded to Alert
based on changes in conditions. On 28 May 2012 it was lowered from 7 back to 6 (On a scale of 1-4).
