Two craters are found at the summit. Mount Salak has been the site of a geothermal exploration. According to popular belief, the name "Salak" comes from salak, a tropical fruit with scaly skin. However, according to Sundanese tradition, the name was derived from theSanskrit word "Salaka" which means "silver"; thus, Mount Salak means "silver mountain".
