TheDieng Volcanic Complex (Javanese:ꦢꦶꦲꦾꦁ,romanized: Dihyang) is avolcanic complex located on theDieng Plateau inCentral Java,Indonesia, a complex of volcanoes. The volcanic complex consists of two or morestratovolcanoes, more than 20 smallcraters, andPleistocene toHolocene-agevolcanic cones. It covers a 6 by 14 kilometres (3.7 by 8.7 mi) area. The Prahu stratovolcano was truncated by a large Pleistocenecaldera and then filled byparasitic cones,lava domes, and craters which is 120 °C (248 °F). Some of them are turned into lakes. Toxicvolcanic gas has caused fatalities and is a hazard at several craters. On 20 February 1979, 149 people died of gas poisoning in Pekisaran Village on the plateau near theSinila Crater.[2] The area is also home to a majorgeothermal project.[1]
