Pulosari (Indonesia)

Status Normal Eruption Unknown 1324m
Stratovolcano (Subduction zone / Continental crust (> 25 km))

The basaltic-to-andesitic Pulosari stratovolcano at the western end of Java lies south of the 15-km-wide Pleistocene Danau caldera. The summit contains a nearly 300-m-deep crater open to the ENE with active solfataras on its wall. It is SW across a low saddle from the higher Karang volcano, which was constructed on the SE rim of Danau caldera.

The small circular, forested volcano at the center of this NASA Space Shuttle image (with north to the upper right) is Pulosari. The 1346-m-high Pulosari stratovolcano has a nearly 300-m-deep summit crater with solfataras on its walls. The volcano lies SE of the 15-km-wide Pleistocene Danau caldera, whose northern and eastern rims and light-colored floor are seen at the upper right.
