After the eruption, formed a basin as deep as 450 meters and an area of 1,145 square kilometers. This basin then becomes a lake.
When viewed from the area and depth of the lake, this natural lake site is like an ocean with an island in the middle. The island which is located in the middle of this lake is Samosir Island. This island is inhabited and becomes the 'home' of the Toba people. The land on this island is very fertile so that it is easy to produce many types of useful plants.
The area of the lake waters is very clean because the local people really keep this area in order to keep it sustainable and beautiful.
