Mount Kaba

Kaba

Stratovulcano · Indonesia · 1962 m

Gunung Kaba, rising above farmlands at Pematang Danau, has three large historically active craters trending ENE from the summit to the upper NE flank. The SW-most crater is the largest. Most historical activity has consisted of explosive eruptions that affected only the summit region of the volcano. They originated from the central summit craters, although the upper-NE flank crater Kawah Vogelsang also produced explosions during the 19th and 20th centuries.

Sintesi geologica

The Kaba volcanic massif is ~8 km long, elongated WSW-ENE, with a summit area that includes multiple large craters. On the SW is the 1-km-diameter Hitam crater, with the Malintang cone and 400-m crater ~1 km NE, on the flank of the active 1-km-diameter Kaba crater. The smaller Mali crater is connected to Kaba, and Vogelsang cone is just beyond that to the NE. Another large forested cone is SE of the active craters. Most recorded eruptions have originated from the summit craters, and affected only the summit area. However, the upper-NE flank crater Kawah Vogelsang also produced explosions during the 19th and 20th centuries.

Riassunto in inglese

Bukit Kaba, is an active stratovolcano located in the Rejang Lebong Regency of the Bengkulu Province on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia. Standing at an elevation of 1,952 meters above sea level, it is part of the Bukit Barisan mountain range that runs along the western spine of Sumatra. In 1833 an eruption ejected water from the crater lake, forming lahars that produced damage and fatalities at Talang, Klingi, and Bliti villages.
