Tarso Voon Mountain

Tarso Voon is a 3,100-metre (10,200-foot) high stratovolcano in the Republic of Chad's northwestern region. It is located in the Tibesti Mountains' western center.

The mountain's peak is dominated by a 14-by-18-kilometer (8.7 mi 11.2 mi) relatively flat crater. Extensive basaltic flows form a 180-degree arc on the northeastern side as a result of the Quaternary's strong activity. The Ehi Mosgau, a stratovolcano of the same elevation, 3,100 meters (10,200 ft), is nearby in the northern direction. Pyroclastic cloud deposits can be found 15 to 35 kilometers (9.3 to 21.7 miles) around the caldera. The mountain was built on a bedrock of Precambrian schists.

The greatest Solfataric field in the Tibesti Mountains is the well-known Soborom Solfataric field, which is located about 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) west of the summit rim. The Tibesti visit the active fumaroles, mud pots, and hot springs for medicinal purposes.
