Singu Volcano, or better the Singu Plateau (also known as Letha Taung) is a young lava plateau of basaltic-trachyandesite lava in north-central Burma, north of the city of Mandalay.
Eruptions less than 10,000 years ago produced large lava flows from a series of fissure vents. The flows cover an area of about 62 sq km.
