'Dieng Volcanic Complex' is on the
Dieng Plateau in the
Central Java,
Indonesia, as a complex of volcanoes. The volcanic complex consists of two or more of
stratovolcanoes, more than 20 small
craters and
Pleistocene-to-
Holocene age
volcanic cones. It covers over 6 × 14 km area. The Prahu stratovolcano was truncated by a large Pleistocene
caldera and then filled by
parasitic cones,
lava domes and craters which some of them are turned into lakes. Toxic vocanic gas has been known to caused fatalities and is a hazard at several craters. The area is also a major
geothermal project.
