submarine volcano (?) -2258 m / -7,497 ft
Banda Sea (Indonesia), -6.6°S / 124.68°E
Current status: normal or dormant (1 out of 5)

Nieuwerkerk has been described as a submarine volcano with two summits 7 km apart along a NNW-SSE-trending ridge in the western part of the Banda Sea, but there is no certainty whether a submarine volcano actually exists in this location... Eruptions might have occurred sometime before 1893, and in 1925 and 1927. (Source: GVP)
