The Serawerna ( Indonesian Gunungapi Serawerna , also Teun ) is a stratovolcano on the east coast of the Indonesian island of Teun . At 655  m it is the highest mountain on the island. The active crater is also called Seraverna. To the north-northeast is another, smaller crater.

Outbreaks have been reported since the 17th century. The largest eruption in 1660, which also claimed deaths, created pyroclastic currents . The last eruption took place in 1904. There were further eruptions in 1659, 1663 and 1693. The volcano is classified as a potential trigger of tsunamis .

Between 1979 and 1983, the entire population of Teun was forcibly relocated to Seram . The measure was justified with the threat from the active volcano.

Serawerna is one of the numerous volcanoes of the Banda Arch - the closest are 50 km northeast of the Nila (on the island of Teun ) and 80 km west of the Wurlali (on Damar ).
