Tatun Volcanic Group

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.

[2] Observations of the Tatun Volcanic Group suggest that magma chambers probably still exist under the land surface of northern Taiwan.

[4][5] The north of the island is where evidence of volcanic activity is most obvious.

In the early 20th century, the North Range of hills, also called Daitonzan from Japanese or Twa-tun from Hokkien, was recognized as having an abundance of sulfur deposits.
