  Tatun Volcanic Group Taiwan | |
The Tatun Volcanic Group (Chinese: 大屯火山群; pinyin: Dàtún Huǒshān Qún) constitutes a group of volcanoes located in northern Taiwan. It 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 volcanic group was a result of episodic volcanism between 2.8 and 0.2 Ma.[2] As of 2005, some geothermal activity was occurring and gas fumaroles were active among these volcanoes.[2] Observations of the Tatun Volcanic Group suggest that magma chambers probably still exist under the land surface of northern Taiwan.[3]
