The geography of Indonesia is dominated by volcanoes that are formed due to subduction zones between the Eurasian plate and the Indo-Australian plate. Some of the volcanoes are notable for their eruptions, for instance, Krakatoa for its global effects in 1883,{{cite book|last=Winchester|first=Simon|author-link=Simon Winchester|title=Krakatoa: The Day the World Exploded: August 27, 1883|publisher=HarperCollins|year=2003|isbn=978-0-06-621285-2|title-link=Krakatoa: The Day the World Exploded: August 27, 1883}} the Lake Toba Caldera for its supervolcanic eruption estimated to have occurred 74,000 years before present which was responsible for six years of volcanic winter,{{cite journal|title=Limited global change due to the largest known Quaternary eruption, Toba ≈74 kyr BP?|last=Oppenheimer|first=C.|year=2002|journal=Quaternary Science Reviews|pages=1593–1609|volume=21|issue=14–15|doi=10.1016/S0277-3791(01)00154-8|bibcode=2002QSRv...21.1593O}} and Mount Tambora for the most violent eruption in recorded history in 1815.{{cite journal|last=Stothers|first=Richard B.|journal=Science|title=The Great Tambora Eruption in 1815 and Its Aftermath|volume=224|issue=4654|year=1984|pages=1191–1198|doi=10.1126/science.224.4654.1191|pmid=17819476|bibcode=1984Sci...224.1191S|s2cid=23649251}}
Volcanoes in Indonesia are part of the alpida belt and Pacific Ring of Fire. The 150 entries in the list below are grouped into six geographical regions, four of which belong to the volcanoes of the Sunda Arc trench system. The remaining two groups are volcanoes of Halmahera, including its surrounding volcanic islands, and volcanoes of Sulawesi and the Sangihe Islands. The latter group is in one volcanic arc together with the Philippine volcanoes.
The most active volcano is Mount Merapi on Java. Since AD 1000, Kelut has erupted more than 30 times, of which the largest eruption was at scale 5 on the volcanic explosivity index (VEI),{{cite web|url=http://www.volcano.si.edu/world/volcano.cfm?vnum=0603-28=&volpage=erupt|title=Kelut Eruptive History|department=Global Volcanism Program|publisher=Smithsonian Institution|access-date=19 December 2006}} while Mount Merapi has erupted more than 80 times.{{cite web|url=http://www.volcano.si.edu/world/volcano.cfm?vnum=0603-25=&volpage=erupt|title=Merapi Eruptive History|department=Global Volcanism Program|publisher=Smithsonian Institution|access-date=19 December 2006}} The International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior has named Mount Merapi as a Decade Volcano since 1995 because of its high volcanic activity.
As of 2012, Indonesia has 127 active volcanoes and about 5 million people live within the danger zones. It has been conjectured that the earthquake and tsunami event of 26 December 2004 could trigger eruptions, with Mount Sinabung (dormant since the 1600s) erupting in 2010 as a possible example.{{cite web|url=http://www.pikiran-rakyat.com/node/186891|title=Indonesia Miliki 127 Gunung Api Aktif|date=2 May 2012}}
The word for Mount in Indonesian and many regional languages of the country is Gunung. Thus, Mount Merapi may be referred to as Gunung Merapi.

Scope
File:Map indonesia volcanoes.gif
There is no single standard definition of a volcano. It can be defined as individual vents, volcanic edifices, or volcanic fields. The interior of ancient volcanoes may have been eroded, creating a new subsurface magma chamber as a separate volcano. Many contemporary active volcanoes rise as young parasitic cones from flank vents or at a central crater. Some volcanic cones are grouped into one volcano name, for instance, the Tengger caldera complex, whereas, individual vents are named by local people. The status of a volcano, either active or dormant, cannot be defined precisely. An indication of a volcano is determined by either its historical records, radiocarbon dating, or geothermal activities.
The primary source of the list below is taken from the Volcanoes of the World book, compiled by two volcanologists Tom Simkin and Lee Siebert,{{efn|name=SimkinSiebert1994}} in which active volcanoes in the past 10,000 years (Holocene) are listed.{{cite web|url=http://www.volcano.si.edu/data_criteria.cfm|publisher=Smithsonian Institution|department=Global Volcanism Program|title=Volcano Data Criteria|access-date=14 June 2015}} Particularly for Indonesia, Simkin and Siebert used a catalogue of active volcanoes from the International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior publication series.{{efn|name=Padang1951}} The Simkin and Siebert list is the most complete list of volcanoes in Indonesia, but the accuracy of the record varies from one region to another in terms of contemporary activities and fatalities in recent eruptions. Complementary sources for the latest volcanic data are taken from the Volcanological Survey of Indonesia, a governmental institution which is responsible for volcanic activities and geological hazard mitigation in Indonesia,{{cite web|publisher=Volcanological Survey of Indonesia|title=Centre of Volcanology & Geological Hazard Mitigation|access-date=31 December 2006|url=http://portal.vsi.esdm.go.id/joomla/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061216081307/http://portal.vsi.esdm.go.id/joomla/ |archive-date=16 December 2006}} and some academic resources.
Geographical groups
=Sumatra=
The geography of Sumatra is dominated by a mountain range called Bukit Barisan (lit: "a row of hills"). The mountain range spans nearly {{convert|1700|km|mi|abbr=on}} from the north to the south of the island, and it was formed by movement of the Australian tectonic plate.{{cite journal|title=The Sumatra subduction zone: A case for a locked fault zone extending into the mantle|journal=Journal of Geophysical Research|year=2004|author1=Simoes, M.|author2=Avouac, J.P.|author3=Cattin, R.|author4=Henry, P.|volume=109|issue=B10|doi=10.1029/2003JB002958|url=http://tectonics.caltech.edu/publications/pdf/simoes_JGR2004.pdf|pages=B10402|bibcode=2004JGRB..10910402S|doi-access=free|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060909230545/http://tectonics.caltech.edu/publications/pdf/simoes_JGR2004.pdf|archive-date=9 September 2006|url-status=live}} The plate moves with a convergence rate of 5.5 cm/year which has created major earthquakes on the western side of Sumatra including the 2004 Sumatra–Andaman earthquake.{{cite journal|title=Plate-boundary deformation associated with the great Sumatra-Andaman earthquake|last1=Subarya|first1=C.|last2=Chlieh|first2=M.|last3=Prawirodirdjo|first3=L.|last4=Avouac|first4=J.P.|last5=Bock|first5=Y.|last6=Sieh|first6=K.|last7=Meltzner|first7=A.|last8=Natawidjaja|first8=D.H.|last9=McCaffrey|first9=R.|journal=Nature|url=http://tectonics.caltech.edu/publications/pdf/Subarya_Nature2006.pdf|doi=10.1038/nature04522|volume=440|year=2006|pages=46–51|pmid=16511486|issue=7080|bibcode=2006Natur.440...46S|hdl=10356/94250|s2cid=4429816|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060909225712/http://tectonics.caltech.edu/publications/pdf/Subarya_Nature2006.pdf|archive-date=9 September 2006|url-status=live}}{{cite journal|title=The Great Sumatra-Andaman Earthquake of 26 December 2004|author1=Lay, T.|author2=Kanamori, H.|author3=Ammon, C.|author4=Nettles, M.|author5=Ward, S.|author6=Aster, R.|author7=Beck, S.|author8=Bilek, S.|author9=Brudzinski, M. |author10=Butler, R.|author11=DeShon, H.|author12=Ekstrom, G.|journal=Science|url=http://tectonics.caltech.edu/publications/pdf/Lay_Science2005.pdf|doi=10.1126/science.1112250|volume=308|issue=5725|year=2005|pages=1127–1133|pmid=15905392|bibcode=2005Sci...308.1127L|s2cid=43739943|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060911021152/http://tectonics.caltech.edu/publications/pdf/Lay_Science2005.pdf|archive-date=11 September 2006|url-status=live}} The tectonic movement has been responsible not only for earthquakes, but also for the formation of magma chambers beneath the island.
Only one of the 35 active volcanoes, Weh, is separated from the Sumatran mainland. The separation was caused by a large eruption that filled the lowland between Weh and the rest of the mainland with sea water in the Pleistocene epoch. The largest volcano of Sumatra is the supervolcano Toba within the {{convert|100|km|mi|abbr=on}} × {{convert|30|km|mi|abbr=on}} Lake Toba, which was created after a caldera collapse (est. in 74,000 Before Present). The eruption is estimated to have been at level eight on the VEI scale, the highest level for a volcanic eruption. The highest peak of the mountain range is Mount Kerinci with an elevation of 3,800 m (12,467 ft).

=Sunda Strait and Java=
The Sunda Strait separates the islands of Sumatra and Java with the volcanic island Krakatoa lying between them. Krakatau erupted violently in 1883, destroying two-thirds of the island and leaving a large caldera under the sea. This cataclysmic explosion was heard as far away as the island of Rodrigues near Mauritius (approx. {{convert|4800|km|mi}} away). A new parasitic cone, called Anak Krakatau (or the child of Krakatau), rose from the sea at the centre of the caldera in 1930.{{cite journal|title=Anak Krakatau and old Krakatau: a reply|journal=GeoJournal|last=Whittaker|first=R.

Java is a relatively small island compared to Sumatra, but it has a higher concentration of active volcanoes. There are 45 active volcanoes on the island excluding 20 small craters and cones in the Dieng volcanic complex and the young cones in the Tengger caldera complex. Some volcanoes are grouped together in the list below because of their close location. Mount Merapi, Semeru and Kelud are the most active volcanoes in Java. Mount Semeru has been continuously erupting since 1967.{{cite web|department=Global Volcanism Program|publisher=Smithsonian Institution|url=http://www.volcano.si.edu/world/volcano.cfm?vnum=0603-30=&volpage=weekly|title=Semeru Weekly Reports|access-date=7 December 2006}} Mount Merapi has been named as one of the Decade Volcanoes since 1995.{{cite journal|author=International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior|author-link=IAVCEI|title=Decade Volcano Update|journal=Bulletin of Volcanology|doi=10.1007/BF00298711|pages=82–83|year=1995|volume=57|issue=1|bibcode=1995BVol...57...76.|s2cid=195243529}} Ijen has a unique colourful caldera lake which is an extremely acidic natural reservoir (pH<0.3).{{cite journal|title=Natural Pollution Caused by the Extremely Acid Crater Lake Kawah Ijen, East Java, Indonesia|author1=Ansje Löhr|author2=Thom Bogaard|author3=Alex Heikens|author4=Martin Hendriks|author5=Sri Sumarti|author6=Manfred van Bergen|author7=Kees C.A.M. van Gestel|author8=Nico van Straalen|author9=Pieter Vroonand |author10=Budi Widianarko|name-list-style=amp|journal=Environmental Science and Pollution Research|volume=12|issue=2|year=2005|doi=10.1065/espr2004.09.118|pages=89–95|pmid=15859115|bibcode=2005ESPR...12...89L|s2cid=128470417}} There are sulfur mining activities at Ijen, where miners collect highly concentrated sulfur rocks by hand.

=Lesser Sunda Islands=
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.{{cite journal|author=H. A. Brouwer|title=Exploration in the Lesser Sunda Islands|journal=The Geographical Journal|volume=94|issue=1|pages=1–10|date=July 1939|doi=10.2307/1788584|jstor=1788584|bibcode=1939GeogJ..94....1B}} 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.

Four peninsulas dominate the shape of Sulawesi island (formerly known as Celebes). The central part is a high mountainous area, but mostly non-volcanic. Active volcanoes are found in the northern peninsula and continuously stretch to the north to Sangihe Islands. The Sangihe Islands mark the border with the Philippines.

=Halmahera=
Halmahera island in the north of Molucca archipelago has been formed by the movement of three tectonic plates resulting in two intersecting mountain ranges, which form four rocky peninsulas separated by three deep bays. A volcanic arc stretches from north to south in the west side of Halmahera, some of which are volcanic islands, for instance, Gamalama and Tidore. Gamalama's island name is Ternate and it has been the centre for spice trading since the Portuguese Empire opened a fort in 1512. Due to its location as the centre for spice trading during the Age of Discovery, historical records of volcanic eruptions in Halmahera have been available as far back as the early 16th century.
