Based on visual observations, CVGHM reported that during 18-25 June thick brown ash plumes from Talang's Main Crater rose to an altitude of 3.1 km (10,200 ft) a.s.l. Diffuse white ash plumes rose to an altitude of about 3 km (10,000 ft) a.s.l. from the South Crater. The Alert Level remained at 2 (on a scale of 1-4).

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.
