The volcano sits in Indonesia's notorious 'Ring of Fire' - an area where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur in the basin of the Pacific Ocean. It has 452 volcanoes - 75 per cent of the world's total.

Since Sangiang Api's first recorded eruption in 1512, it is believed to have erupted a total of 20 times.
