Mount Sunda

About

Mount Sunda was an ancient volcano that once stood in Priangan highlands in today's West Java province, Java island, Indonesia. The Sunda volcano existed during the Pleistocene age before a violent Plinian eruption caused its summit to collapse. The volcano formed the northern ridge of the Bandung Basin. The ancient volcano is the predecessor of today's Tangkuban Perahu, Burangrang, and Bukit Tunggul volcanoes. The Sunda volcano was a stratovolcano and is estimated to have reached up to 3,000–4,000 metres (9, 850–13, 100 ft) above sea level during the Pleistocene age. During this age, it was one of the highest volcanoes in Java. 6°26′S 107°19′E
