Malintang

Stratovolcano · Indonesia · 1988m

Malintang volcano in Indonesia is shown in this August 2020 Planet Labs satellite image monthly mosaic (N is at the top; this image is approximately 25 km across). A crater lake is present at the summit. A large horseshoe-shaped scarp is visible down the southern flank, likely formed through flank collapse.

Geological summary

The broad forested Malintang andesitic-to-dacitic stratovolcano has an irregular summit crater with a 900 x 1,500 m lake. The flanks are relatively uneroded, and it most likely has had significant eruptions within the past few thousand years (Kieh, 2009 pers. comm.). The open caldera may be related to emplacement of a large debris avalanche.
