Mount Sunda, Prehistoric stratovolcano in Priangan Highlands, Indonesia
Mount Sunda formed the northern ridge of the Bandung Basin, with its remains visible in the current landscape of West Java province.
The volcano experienced two major eruptions during the Pleistocene age, with the final event blocking the Citarum River around 55,000 years ago.
The mountain's name originates from Sanskrit word 'Chuda', meaning white, as its summit contained glaciers that Indian travelers observed from Sumatra.
The remnants of Mount Sunda include three distinct volcanic formations: Tangkuban Perahu, Burangrang, and Bukit Tunggul.
Mount Sunda reached heights between 3,000 and 4,000 meters during the Pleistocene period, making it one of Java's tallest peaks at that time.
