Tanggamus is a 2,079 m (6,821 ft) high Quaternary stratovolcano in southern Sumatra's Lampung Province. The volcano has no history of eruptions; the last is thought to be during the Pleistocene. Lahar deposits along the volcano, comprising andesite and pumice, have been dated to about 1.5 million years ago though they may be younger. Lava on Tanggamus was dated at 1.4 million years ago.[1]
