“Orangutan” in English translates to “human of the forest” or “forest people”. It’s a Malay word, “orang” meaning “person” and “utan” meaning “forest”. In English, the word “orangutan” is used directly to refer to the great apes found in Southeast Asia. More specifically, the term “orangutan” refers to a genus of great apes (Pongo) that includes three species: Sumatran orangutan, Bornean orangutan, and Tapanuli orangutan. These apes are native to the rainforests of Indonesia and Malaysia.
Mount Sibayak (Indonesian: Gunung Sibayak) is a stratovolcano overlooking the town of Berastagi in northern Sumatra, Indonesia. Although its last eruption was more than a century ago, geothermal activity in the form of steam vents and hot springs remains high on and around the volcano. The vents produce crystalline sulfur, which was mined on a small scale in the past. Seepage of sulfurous gases has also caused acidic discolouration of the small crater lake.
