Gunung Merbabu is a massive forested volcano north of Merapi in central Java. Three prominent radial valleys extend from the summit toward the NW, NNE, and ESE. The most recent magmatic eruptions originated from a NNW-SSE fissure system that cut across the summit and fed the large-volume Kopeng and Kajor lava flows on the N and S flanks, respectively. Moderate explosive eruptions occurred from the summit crater in 1560 and 1797 CE.
