Talang

Talang is a stratovolcano in Sunda-Banda Volcanic Regions, Indonesia, rising to 2,575 m. Its most recent recorded eruption was in 2007.

About Talang

Talang is part of a large volcanic edifice just NW of Dibawah Lake. An older volcanic peak, Pasar Arbaao, is ~1.5 km W. The steep-sided Talang cone exhibits fumarolic activity but has no crater; it appears to have grown within a larger caldera. Recorded eruptions have mostly involved small-to-moderate explosive activity, first documented in the 19th century, that originated from a series of small craters in a valley on the NE flank.
