According to a survey by scientists, Dak Nong Geopark currently has 5 craters, including both negative and positive volcanoes, which preserve the geological tectonic history of the Earth's crust imprinted on the land here.
Ea Tling Volcano
 |
Bang Mo volcano (formerly known as Ea T'Linh volcano) located in Ea T'Linh town, Cu Jut district, is a young volcano, typical of the central eruption type, dating from 200,000-600,000 years old.
The Bingmo Crater is well preserved with a relatively round and clear shape; it is about 242m in diameter, 40m high and 407m above sea level. Around this area, slag, ash, rocks and volcanic bombs can be found scattered.
Bang Mo Volcano is currently the only volcano that has local investment in building a stopover on the top of the mountain.
Nam Gle Volcano (Thuan An)

Located in Dak Mil district, Nam Gle volcano is considered one of the young volcanoes in the Central Highlands. The shape of this volcano is quite different from other volcanoes in the Dak Nong Geopark area.
The volcano has an oval shape that extends into a narrow trough, the lowest part forming a deep narrow trench that extends along the Northeast-Southwest fault direction.
From above, Thuan An volcano looks like two clam shells facing each other. This is one of the most beautiful volcanoes, combining fissure eruption and explosive eruption.
Nam Gle volcano was active about 781,000-126,000 years ago. Right at the foot of the volcano is a large and beautiful natural lake.
According to scientists , the formation mechanism of the lake may be related to the activity of this volcano.
South Sea Volcano

Located in Cu Jut district, Nam Dong is the third largest volcano of Dak Nong Geopark, with spectacular scenery and is quite well preserved.
The crater is funnel-shaped with a terrain elevation that is little different from the surrounding area. This is a shield volcano with a large basalt distribution area and very little volcanic ash. According to the crater elevation, this can be called a negative crater, because from a distance as well as from a close distance (within a radius of 1-2 km), the volcano's shape cannot be distinguished.
The last eruption of the Nam Duong volcano was about 0.401 ± 0.17 million years ago. The funnel-shaped crater demonstrates the phenomenon of volume contraction and subsidence according to the principle of gravity balance immediately after the eruption stopped.
Nam Kar Volcanic Cluster
 |
Located in Krong No district, adjacent to Quang Son commune, Dak Glong district, Nam Kar volcano is one of the most beautiful volcanoes in the Dak Nong Geopark area.
This volcano was active about 5.33 - 0.78 million years ago, with a combination of effusive and explosive eruptions. In addition to the main crater, there are two secondary craters formed as lava vents. There are also fossil tree molds formed during the volcanic eruption.
This volcano is not large in scale but has "satellite volcanoes" with unique formation, structure and divergence. Together with Nam Kar volcano, the sub-volcanoes and cinder cones in the surrounding area have created a cluster of craters with spectacular and unique shapes, one of the most beautiful in Dak Nong Geopark.
Chu B'Luk Volcano
 |
Chu B'Luk volcano, located in Krong No district, has a characteristic truncated cone shape, is spectacularly beautiful and can be admired from a great distance in different directions.
Notably, this is the only volcano in the Dak Nong Geopark that creates a system of 50 lava caves, the largest and most unique in East Asia, containing many interesting things that need to be researched and deciphered.
In addition, the discovery of archaeological remains of prehistoric people living in this volcanic cave system has further highlighted the scientific andeducational value of this unique geological site.
