Data from the Global Volcanism Program of the Smithsonian Institution
Details for: Singkut
Sibayak and Mt. Pinto are located within the Singkut caldera in NE Sumatra. The slightly higher Pinto partially overtops the 900-m-wide crater of Sibayak to the N. The summit contains a lava dome and an area of hydrothermal alteration visible in this photo. An ash eruption from Sibayak was recorded in 1881, and nearby residents have legends of eruptions.

The Quaternary Singkut caldera is about 7 x 4 km with the S half of the rim topographically distinct. Post-caldera cones have filled much of the crater and the N rim, including Sibayak, Pintau, and Pratektekan. The 900-m-wide Sibayak crater is partially filled on the north by Pintau. A lava flow traveled through a gap in the western crater wall from the summit lava dome of Sibayak; the active geothermal field SE of the summit has abundant solfataras and fumaroles. Area residents record legends of eruptions. Neumann van Padang (1983) cited a report by Hoekstra of ash clouds emitted from the volcano in 1881. The town of Berastagi is within the caldera immediately SE of the younger cones.
