Mount Hutapanjang

Mount Hutapanjang rises to 2,021 meters above sea level, forming a conical shape with multiple layers of hardened lava and volcanic materials.

The volcanic formation emerged through repeated eruptions during the Holocene period, contributing to the development of Sumatra's mountainous landscape.

Local Indonesian communities traditionally use the prefix 'Gunung' before Hutapanjang, reflecting the deep connection between mountains and regional naming conventions.

Researchers and geologists monitor Mount Hutapanjang as part of Indonesia's extensive volcanic network, which includes 127 active volcanoes throughout the archipelago.

The mountain's location at 2°20′S latitude and 101°36′E longitude places it within the Pacific Ring of Fire, where tectonic plate interactions shape the landscape.
