Vegetation drapes one of the peaks forming the Peuet Sague complex in NW Sumatra. This isolated volcano is a several-day journey on foot from the nearest village and is infrequently visited. The first recorded historical eruption took place during 1918-21, when explosive activity and pyroclastic flows accompanied lava dome growth.
