Kedeng is a 1,732 m (5,682 ft) high stratovolcano on western Java, Indonesia.[2] The volcano comprises andesites and andesitic breccias which date back to the Pleistocene. It was active between 1.8 million and 700 thousand years ago. The volcano presently does not display any surface activity, though the caldera is rounded in shape, indicating previous violent eruptions.[1]
There are several mountains in Indonesia with the name Kendeng.[1] This particular mountain is located to the west of Rancabali [id] in Bandung Regency and to the east of Sukanagara [id] in Cianjur Regency.[1]
