Tatun Volcano Group
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Datun Mountain)
Tatun Volcanoes (Chinese: 大屯火山群), a volcanic group of volcanoes located at northern Taiwan, is located 15 km[1] north of Taipei, and lies to the west of Keelung. It just adjoins the northern coast of the Taiwan island. The volcano group was a result of episodic volcanisms between 2.8 and 0.2 Ma.[2] Currently, some hydrothermal activities and gas fumaroles are still active among these volcanoes.[2] Observations on Tatun Volcano Group suggest that magma chambers probably still exist under the land surface of northern Taiwan.[3]
