Talang Volcano - John Seach
Historical eruptions from Talang volcano have occurred in a valley on the upper NE side of the volcano. There are two crater lakes on the volcano, the largest being Danau Talang.
In April 2005 an eruption of Talang sent ash to 25,000 ft elevation. Over 40,000 people were evacuated from the volcano. Thick brown ash plumes from the main crater rose to 10,200 ft altitude in June 2007.
An active fault stretches NW from Danau Dibaru near the summit of Talang volcano to Danau Singkarak 40 km away.
Tornillo earthquakes commenced at the volcano in February 2008.
