description Karaha fumarole Overview
Karaha, also called Kawah Karaha, is a fumarole field in Java, Indonesia, near the Galunggung volcanic system. Volcanological databases place the field at an elevation of about 1,155 meters, while geothermal studies describe the broader Karaha-Telaga Bodas system as adjacent to Galunggung Volcano in West Java. The site is therefore relevant to volcanology and geothermal research rather than being a conventional crater lake or tourist landscape.
