Sumbing volcano in Kerinci-Seblat National Park is seen here from the east. Sumatra's Sumbing volcano has a complicated summit region containing several crater remnants and a 180-m-long crater lake. Its two known historical eruptions, in 1909 and 1921, produced moderate explosions. Hot springs occur at the SW foot of the volcano. Photo by Deb Martyr (Fauna & Flora International).
