The Tatun Volcanic Group (Chinese: 大屯火山群; pinyin: Dàtún Huǒshān Qún) constitutes a group of volcanoes located in northern Taiwan. It is located 15 km^[1] north of Taipei, and lies to the west of Keelung. It just adjoins the northern coast of the Taiwan island. The volcanic group was a result of episodic volcanism between 2.8 and 0.2 Ma.^[2] As of 2005, some geothermal activity was occurring and gas fumaroles were active among these volcanoes.^[2] Observations of the Tatun Volcanic Group suggest that magma chambers probably still exist under the land surface of northern Taiwan.^[3]
