Mount Tandikat

Tandikat-Singgalang

Stratovulcano · Indonesia · 2879 m

The historically active Gunung Tandikat lies across the Bukittinggi Plain from Marapi volcano in central Sumatra. The summit of Tandikat's neighboring volcano, Singgalang, is seen here from Bukittinggi city across the steep-walled Ngarai canyon north of the volcano. Gunung Tandikat contains a central cone and a small crater lake constructed within a larger 1.2-km-wide crater. Small explosive eruptions have occurred recently, including in 1924.

Sintesi geologica

This volcanic complex is dominated by the Singgalang stratovolcano and the smaller Tandikat edifice ~4.5 km SSW. They are located ~15 km WSW across the Bukittinggi plain from Marapi volcano. No eruptions are known from Singgalang, which hosts a lake in the summit crater. The summit of Tandikat has a partially eroded 1.2-km-wide crater containing a large central cone capped by a 360-m-wide crater containing a small lake. The only known eruptions are from Tandikat; three events reported in the late 19th and early 20th centuries produced minor explosive activity.
