The Pleiku-Bantour volcanic field is an extensive volcanic field in southern Vietnam. It contains several volcanic edifices, most of which are not well-presevered. In 1973, the International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior listed this volcanic area as Pleistocene in age. [1] The southern extension of the Pleiku-Bantour volcanic field is the Darlac volcanic field which is also of Pleistocene age. [2]
