Also known as Paluweh, Rokatenda is a stratovolcano mountain located on the small island of Palu’e Island, north of Flores Island in Sikka Regency in the province of East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The biggest eruption occurred on 4 August – 25 September 1928, when a strong explosive eruption was accompanied by landslide-induced tsunamis and lava dome emplacement.
