There are several volcanoes in the territory of Malaysia, mostly located in the state of Sabah. [1] [2] [3] [4]
In Sabah, Tawau's Bombalai volcano is currently a dormant volcano and, since it estimated to have erupted thousands of years ago, it can be regarded as an ancient crater. Bombalai cinder cone is only a half-an-hour jungle walk from the entrance of Tawau Hills National Park.
There are three main peaks in the form of extinct volcanoes, which were last active about 27,000 years ago, namely Mt Magdalena, Mt Lucia and Mt Maria.
