Nila volcano forms completely an isolated 5 × 6 km wide of island with the same name in Banda Sea, Indonesia. The volcano comprises a low caldera with its rims breach into the sea surface on the south and the east side. The dominantly andesitic volcano contains a young forested cone at the elevation of 781 m height.[1]
