Waht do you know about Karangetang Volcano ?

 

What do you know about the Karangetang volcano?

Some things I can share with you related to Mount Karangetang.

 Karangetang volcano is one of the most active volcanoes. This volcano is located on the island of Siau, Sitaro district, North Sulawesi province.
.called "Karangetang" Because this mountain is the highest mountain of several volcanoes in the vicinity. Karangetang is a local language which means "highest".
This mountain is a STRATO type volcano, because it is formed from layered igneous rocks and is conical to the sky. .with an altitude of 1827 meters above sea level.

In terms of culture, before the heavenly religions (Christianity and Islam) entered this island, the people at that time had animist beliefs. They knew three gods they believed in. The three gods were: 1..mawendo, the god who was believed or believed the people of Siau at that time controlled the ocean.
2. Genggonalaging, Gods who they believe rule the sky.
3. Aditinggi, a god who is believed to live on Mount Karangetang.

Because of the belief in their strong relationship with Mount Karangetang, this made it difficult for missionaries from Europe to spread Christianity, forcing priests to perform baptisms on the Karangetang volcano.
 Karangetang volcano is a mountain that was baptized under the name Yohanes Tamagagolo.

In terms of volcanic activity, Karangetag is classified as a volcano that emits lava almost every year. The first eruption of Mount Karangetang was recorded in 1675.
.and the most powerful eruption of Mount Karangetang recorded in 1976. This eruption began with a very strong earthquake in 1974 and forced most of the inhabitants of Siau Island at that time to evacuate or leave Siau Island.
.Therefore, currently there are several villages in several areas with a population of 100 Siau people.

Gunung Api karangetang





                          Gunung Api Karangetang and the surrounding communities.

Karangetang Volcano is one of the active volcanoes, from several active volcanoes in Indonesia. The volcano is located in North Sulawesi province, Siau Tagulandang Biaro Regency, precisely on the island of Siau. Gunung Karangetang has a height of 1827 meters above sea level. Geographically this volcano is located at 02º47 'north latitude and 125º 29' east longitude.
For immigrants, the eruption of Mount Karangetang is frightening, but for the people of Siau the eruption is common.
It is said that according to stories from various sources, before Christianity entered the island of Siau, the Siau people at that time still adhered to animistic beliefs, by worshiping the Aditinggi God who they believed dwelled on the summit of Mount Karangetang. The cause of the Mountain Eruption by the community at that time was believed to be a manifestation of anger from Dewa Aditingi, for the wrong way of life of citizens (committing sins).
After missionary Christianity from the western countries entered the island of Siau, animist beliefs were slowly abandoned by the people at that time, and accepted Christianity as their belief. Not only baptizing citizens, missionaries also baptized the Mount Karangetang with the name John.
However, even though they have embraced Christianity, some of the people of Siau Island today still often associate the eruption of Mount Karangetang with the way of life of citizens. Like for example if someone commits adultery / sin, then the volcano will erupt.
From the agricultural side, volcanic dust released by the Karangetang volcano brings its own blessings. Volcanic dust that falls on the ground is believed by residents to fertilize their crops. Like nutmeg plant which is a superior crop on the island of Siau.
