Details for: Galunggung

The low, forested volcano of Galunggung in western Java is cut by a 2 x 6 km breached crater formed by a massive slope failure that created the "Ten Thousand Hills of Tasikmalaya" at the foot of the volcano. Historical eruptions have been infrequent, but have caused much devastation. This view from within the breached crater shows the low Gunung Jadi cone in front of the crater headwall and lahar channels on the Cikunir River from the 1982-1983 eruption.
