Mount Ibu
Template:Short description Template:Infobox mountain
Mount Ibu (Template:Langx) is a stratovolcano at the north-west coast of Halmahera island, Indonesia. The summit is truncated and contains nested craters. The inner crater is Template:Cvt wide and Template:Cvt deep, while the outer is Template:Cvt wide. A large parasitic cone is at the north-east of the summit and a smaller one at the south-west. The latter feeds a lava flow down the west flank. A group of maars are on the western and northern side of the volcano.[1] Mount Ibu sits within the Pacific Ocean's "Ring of Fire" that has 127 active volcanoes.[2]

In August 2009, the Volcanological Survey of Indonesia raised the eruption alert level for Ibu to Orange/III.[3]
