Note: |
At the top of this mountain has a large crater resembling a crescent-shaped caldera called a resident with the name ‘Metong Lamataro’. It is part of the old crater of Mount Lewotolo. A cone was formed in the southeastern part of ‘Metong Lamataro’ as the highest peak of the current Lewotolo Mountain. The cone has an active crater pit at its peak with a solfatara smoke blow in almost all cones. Solfatara is light yellow, sulphurous brimstone is found in east, north and south of this new cone… |

Topology & Geology; |
According to Hartmann (1935, p 820-821), all the enterprising volcanoes of Lomblen are marked by a fault line at the summit. The mountain route runs southeast-southwest. Mount Ili Lewotolok has a beautiful and orderly cross-section, but in some places there is an irregularity caused by the lava flow that ends in the mountain wing. The slopes of Mount Ili Lewotolok consist of volcanic ash, breccia, volcanic sand, volcanic bombs, and lava flows, except on relatively rare southwestern slopes. Neumann van Padang (1951, p. 201) writes that this volcano is located in the northern part of the Lomblen Island Peninsula. This is a real cone, when viewed from the north or east. Its composition consists of volcanic ash, volcanic breccia, and lava flows, many of which come to shore. Hartmann (1935, p.817-824) divides the three phases of its formation:
Reksowirogo (1972, p.4) writes that Mount Ili Lewotolok built on limestone coral and has a height of 1319 m above sea level located on the northern peninsula of Lomblen Island, East Flores regency. At the top of Mount Ili Lewotolok there is a large crater with a size of 800 x 900 m, in the southwest there are cones with a height point 1319 m above sea level. Near the new cone there is a crater with a solfatara blast that almost surrounds the new cone, mostly in the western lerang while in the east a bit. |
