Lake Toba (Indonesian: Danau Toba) is a lake and supervolcano, 100 km long and 30 km wide, and 505 m. (1,666 ft.) at its deepest point, in the middle of the northern part of the Indonesian island of Sumatra with a surface elevation of about 900 m (3,000 feet), stretching from ২°৫৩′ উত্তর ৯৮°৩১′ পূর্ব / ২.৮৮° উত্তর ৯৮.৫২° পূর্ব / 2.88; 98.52 to ২°২১′ উত্তর ৯৯°০৬′ পূর্ব / ২.৩৫° উত্তর ৯৯.১° পূর্ব / 2.35; 99.1. It is the largest volcanic lake in the world. In addition, it is the site of the 75,000-year-old supervolcanic eruption, the largest in the last 25 million years; where it staged a massive climate-changing event that scientists believe might have wiped out much of humanity. The massive eruption is believed to have a VEI intensity of 8.
