A monitoring team from the Volcanological Survey of Indonesia visits Talagabodas, located immediately N of Galunggung volcano. The crater contains this large sulfur-saturated lake. Fumaroles, mud pots, and a warm spring are found around the 400-500 m wide lake, which also has an elevated temperature. Changes in lake color occurred in 1913 and 1921, and expanded solfatara activity was reported in 1927.
