Beschreibung:

Crescent-shaped Lake Ranau partially fills the 8 x 13 km Ranau caldera in Indonesia. A morphologically young post-caldera stratovolcano, Gunung Semuning, its summit capped by clouds below the bottom center lake shore in this NASA Landsat image (with north to the top), was constructed within the SE side of the caldera to a height of more than 1600 m above the caldera lake surface. The age of the most recent eruptions at Ranau are not known, but fish kills and sulfur smells in the late 19th and early 20th centuries may be related to sublacustral eruptions.
