Patah is a heavily forested, dissected Quaternary volcano SE of Dempo volcano. The age of its latest eruptions is not known, although on 1 May 1989 a possible new 150-m-wide crater with active fumaroles was observed by a cargo aircraft pilot in a heavily forested area on the side of a small cone about 3 km SE of Gunung Patah. The exact date of its formation, and its geologic relationship to Patah are uncertain. A crater lake at the summit of another peak, Bukit Belirang (Sulfur Hill), is located 1.5 km S of the fumaroles.
