Bukit Daun
This is a protected recreation forest located between Bengkulu
and Curup, about 45 km from Bengkulu. It is inhabited by a great
variety of animal species. Located in a sparsely populated region
of Sumatra, Bukit Daun forms a twin volcano with Gedang volcano,
which is truncated by a 3-km-wide probable caldera. The 600-m-wide
summit crater of Bukit Daun contains a crater lake; a smaller
crater lake is found at Tologo Kecil on the SSW flank. No historical
eruptions are known from Bukit Daun, although active fumaroles
occur in the SSW flank crater.
