Tatun Volcano Group, Volcanic formation in northern Taiwan.
The Tatun Volcano Group consists of multiple volcanic cones and craters, featuring the highest peak Chihsingshan at 1,120 meters elevation.
Research indicates the volcano group formed through episodic volcanic activities between 2.8 million and 0.2 million years ago, with the last eruption occurring 6000 years ago.
The volcanic landscape near Taipei influences local traditions, with residents incorporating natural hot springs and geological features into their daily activities.
Visitors can access the volcanic area through a network of hiking trails, with several observation points providing views of the active gas fumaroles and thermal features.
Recent studies reveal a magma reservoir at 8 to 20 kilometers depth beneath the eastern section, with a 19 percent melt fraction indicated by P-wave velocity measurements.
