Lake Toba

Pulau Samosir is a large volcanic island in Lake Toba.

Lake Toba is located in the north of the island of Sumatra in Indonesia.

The lake and island were formed after the eruption of a super volcano

some 75 000 years ago in the last recorded 'supervolcano' explosion.

The island was originally connected to the surrounding caldera wall

by a small isthmus which was cut through to aid navigation.

Samosir is the largest island within an island,

and the fourth largest lake island in the world.

Samosir is a popular tourist destination.

The island is the centre of the Batak culture and

many artifacts are to be found on the island.
