Kaba

Kaba is a stratovolcano in Sunda-Banda Volcanic Regions, Indonesia, rising to 1,962 m. Its most recent recorded eruption was in 2000.

About Kaba

The Kaba volcanic massif is ~8 km long, elongated WSW-ENE, with a summit area that includes multiple large craters. On the SW is the 1-km-diameter Hitam crater, with the Malintang cone and 400-m crater ~1 km NE, on the flank of the active 1-km-diameter Kaba crater. The smaller Mali crater is connected to Kaba, and Vogelsang cone is just beyond that to the NE. Another large forested cone is SE of the active craters. Most recorded eruptions have originated from the summit craters, and affected only the summit area. However, the upper-NE flank crater Kawah Vogelsang also produced explosions during the 19th and 20th centuries.
