[Original] Dutch Sumatra. Idylle op het Tobameer. [end]
Toba Lake, towards the north of the island of the Indonesian island of Sumatra, was formed by a large volcanic eruption roughly 2 million years ago. This was followed by another massive eruption about 75,000 years ago. Since then there are likely to have been smaller eruptions. The beautiful area is witness to regular seismic activity.
