CVGHM raised the Alert Level at Talang to 3 (on a scale of 1-4) on 9 September due to an increase in tremor. On 10 September, a brownish plume rose 250 m above the summit (~10,000 ft a.s.l.).

Geological Summary. Talang is part of a large volcanic edifice just NW of Dibawah Lake. An older volcanic peak, Pasar Arbaao, is ~1.5 km W. The steep-sided Talang cone exhibits fumarolic activity but has no crater; it appears to have grown within a larger caldera. Recorded eruptions have mostly involved small-to-moderate explosive activity, first documented in the 19th century, that originated from a series of small craters in a valley on the NE flank.
