Mount Papandayan

Mount Papandayan

Mount :  Papandayan
Elevation : 2,665 m (8,743 ft)
Location : west Java, Indonesia.
Coordinates: 7°19′S 107°44′E
GeologyType : Stratovolcanoes
Last eruption : 2002

Mount Papandayan is a complex stratovolcano, located in Garut Regency, to the southeast of the city of Bandung in West Java, Indonesia. It is about 15 km to the southwest of the town of Garut. At the summit, there are four large craters which contain active fumarole fields. An eruption in 1772 caused the northeast flank to collapse producing a catastrophic debris avalanche that destroyed 40 villages and killed nearly 3,000 people. The eruption truncated the volcano into a broad shape with two peaks and a flat area 1.1 km wide with Alun-Alun crater in the middle, making the mountain look like a twin volcano. One of the peaks is called Papandayan and the other Mount Puntang. 

Since 1772, only small phreatic eruptions were recorded before an explosive eruption that began in November 2002. More recently, the volcano has been quite active. On August 14, 2011 the volcano's warning status was lifted from Level II, "Vigilant" (Indonesian:Waspada) to Level III, "Alert" (Siaga) following the emission of dangerous hydrogen sulfide and carbon monoxide gases.
