Global Volcanism Program | Image GVP-11708

Bukit Amasing (Amasing Hill) is the largest and NW-most of a group of three small andesitic volcanoes located just above the center of this NASA Landsat image (with north to the top).  These volcanoes lie along a NW-SE line in central Bacan Island.  Two smaller volcanoes, Cakasuanggi and Dua Saudara, were constructed to the SE, north of the metamorphic complex of the Sibela Mountains, the cloud-covered massif at the bottom center.  Other young volcanoes of the Bibinoi group lie at the SE peninsula of Bacan Island (lower right). NASA Landsat 7 image (worldwind.arc.nasa.gov)
