Tatun Volcano Group

The Tatun Volcanic Group is located in northern Taiwan, 15 km north of Taipei and west of Keelung, and is a result of episodic volcanism between 2.8 and 0.2 Ma. As of 2005, some geothermal activity was occurring and gas fumaroles were active among these volcanoes. Observations suggest that magma chambers probably still exist under the land surface of northern Taiwan, and the group was listed as a potential World Heritage Site in 2002. The group includes volcanic edifices such as andesitic lava domes, and evidence of volcanic activity is most obvious in the north of the island, with sulfur deposits and craters found in the North Range.learn more on wikipedia
