Tarso Wun Stratovolcano

Tarso Wun Stratovolcano is located in the region of Tibesti, Chad.

The volcano is located in a caldera with a diameter of 14 x 18 km. The debris of ignimbrit is scattered 15-35 km beyond Tarso Vun. The volcano was formed on the soils of precambrian shales. On the northeast side of the volcano, the soils consist of basalts that erupted during the Quaternary period.

5 kilometers west of the caldera is the solfatar field of the Cathedral, where fumaroles, mud and hot springs are active. The local population has long used these sources for medical purposes. Historical eruptions have not been recorded.
