  • last year
Lake Toba is one of main attractions in North Sumatra Province. This lake is very well known for the natural beauty of the scenery, which is surrounded by a variety of steep wall rocks which are actually the caldera walls of Lake Toba.

Regarding to the origin of Lake Toba, according to research from expert scientists, the lake was formed as a result of a massive volcanic eruption which was estimated to have occurred around 73,000-75,000 years ago. This causes the formation of a large caldera filled with water which is now known as Lake Toba and the pressure from the magma that failed to erupt causes the formation of an island in the middle of the lake known as the Samosir Island. According to the scientists the super eruption produced by the volcano caused nearly half of the living species on earth died and vanished.
