Lake Toba is about 180 miles [300 km] from the equator, yet its climate is surprisingly cool. This is because the lake is situated 3,000 feet [900 m] above sea level.
Danau Toba terletak kira - kira 300 kilometer dari khatulistiwa, namun yang mengherankan, iklimnya sejuk, karena danau ini berada di ketinggian 900 meter di atas permukaan laut.
