	Lake Toba - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lake Toba is a large lake, 100 km long and 30 km wide, in the middle of the northern part of the Indonesian island of Sumatra, stretching from 2.88° N 98.52° E to 2.35° N 99.1° E.
		In 1949 the Dutch geologist Rein van Bemmelen reported that Lake Toba was surrounded by a layer of ignimbrite rocks, and was a large volcanic caldera.
		Oceanographers discovered Toba ash on the floor of the eastern Indian Ocean and the Bay of Bengal.

		In 1949 the Dutch geologist van Bemmelen reported that Lake Toba was surrounded by a vast layer of ignimbrite rocks.
		And oceanographers discovered a vast dusting of Toba ash on the floor of the eastern Indian Ocean and the Bay of Bengal.
		About 800 km3 was ignimbrite that travelled swiftly over the ground away from the volcano destroying everything in its path, and the remaining 2,000 km3 fell as ash, with the wind blowing most of it to the west.

		Toba, perhaps as a result of the controversy concerning Sutoku's true father, and perhaps because he was originally forced to abdicate in favor of Sutoku, did not have a good relationship with his son.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Toba Indians
		In the early colonization period of the eighteenth century the Toba, with the Abipón and Mocoví, were among the most determined and constant enemies of the Argentine-Paraguayan settlements and missions, and hardly a half year ever passed without a raid or retaliatory punitive expedition.
		On one occasion six hundred Toba attacked Dobrizhoffer's mission, but were repelled by the missionary himself single-handed with the aid of his firearms, of which the savages were in deadly terror.
		In 1756 a number of Toba and Mataco were gathered into the Mission of San Ignacio de Ledesma, on the Rio Grande tributary of the Vermejo, where they numbered 600 souls at the time of the expulsion of the Jesuits in 1767.

		According to Rampino's research, Toba blasted a crater 100 kms long and sent 3 billion tonnes of sulphur dioxide into the atmosphere and a dense volcanic cloud around the globe.
		Other research indicates that as the cooling of the earth had already commenced and Toba then was the indicating point for the commencement of the ice-age.

		Lake Toba, the largest year-round lake in Southeast Asia, is located in the province of North Sumatra, Indonesia, approximately 176 km to the west of the provincial capital, Medan.
		The unique geographical position of Lake Toba reserves a number of economic potentials for the benefit of the wide range of communities, especially as a source of bountiful fresh water and lust tropical forest which attract the interest of big industries to invest in the areas.
		Administratively, by far the largest part of the Lake Toba water catchment area (87%) is situated in the North Tapanuli District (Kabupaten, or Regency), with the balance divided among the regencies of Simalungun (8.4%), Karo (2%) and Dairi (2.5%).

		...variously referred to as the Toba caldera, the Toba volcanotectonic depression, the Toba caldera complex, or simply Lake Toba, this huge volcanic center was the source of one of the world's largest known eruptions.
		The source of this huge eruption was the 100 x 30 km, oval-shaped Toba "depression" - a chunk of land that dropped downward when partly molten rock was evacuated from the underlying magma system.
		Often referred to as Earth's largest caldera, Toba is now filled by a lake of the same name.

		Toba is situated on a broad region of uplifted continental crust (the "Batak Tumour") in the Barisan Mountains of Sumatra.
		Elsewhere in Sumatra the mountain belt is much narrower, and follows the trace of the 1650 km-long Great Sumatra Fault (GSF), along which dextral slip accomodates oblique convergence between the Australian and Eurasian plates.
		Most volcanic centers in this portion of the Sunda arc are located close to the GSF, although Toba and nearby volcanoes are offset to its east.

		It was formed about eighty thousand years ago by a colossal volcanic eruption: the caldera which was created eventually buckled under the pressure and collapsed in on itself, the high-sided basin that remained filling with water to form the lake.
		This island, Samosir, is the cultural and spiritual heartland of the Toba Batak and the favoured destination for foreign travellers.

	58) The centre of the Batak culture at Lake Toba
		Lake Toba is the largest inland water body of Southeast Asia, it is 87km long and 31km across at its widest point and Klaudia estimated it to be 10 times the size of here native Wörthersee, which already appears large to her.
		The fact that Lake Toba’s water is quite warm despite its depth (up to 529m) leads one to assume that there must be some hot underwater, which is not out of place in a region studded with volcanoes.
		Lake Toba is a beautiful region with cool climate (not too cool, though, to be pleasant and to swim), which we had enjoyed in spite of the daily rainfall.

		Although the estimated volume of the oldest Toba eruption is not as large as the youngest Toba, they are both enormous eruptions involving discharges of tremendous amounts of magma.

		The 1,080-square-mile Toba caldera is the only supervolcano in existence that can be described as Yellowstone's "big" sister.
		About 74,000 years ago, Toba erupted and ejected almost three times as much volcanic ash as the most recent major Yellowstone eruption (Lava Creek, 630,000 years ago) and about 12 percent more than Yellowstone's largest eruption (Huckleberry Ridge, 1.8 million years ago).
		Some researchers suspect that Toba's super eruption and the global cold spell it triggered might explain a mystery in the human genome.

		The eruption of 2,800 cubic km of magma at Toba caldera 75,000 years ago was the largest eruption in the last 2 million years.
		The Toba eruption may have caused about 3 to 4 degree C cooling at the surface but this impact is hard to detect because of concurrent glacial conditions (Sigurdsson, 1990).
		Its aftereffect should exceed Toba's in loss of human life, and because of the potential for global entrance into the next glaciation, severe temperature declines may persist for centuries.
