Mount Makaturing, Active volcano in Butig, Lanao del Sur, Philippines

Mount Makaturing rises 1,940 meters above sea level with a base diameter of 29 kilometers in the Central Mindanao volcanic chain.

The last recorded volcanic activity of Mount Makaturing occurred in 1882, though some eruptions might be attributed to nearby Ragang volcano.

The mountain, known locally as Palaw a Magatoring, holds importance for the communities of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.

Access to Mount Makaturing requires coordination with local guides in Butig town, considering weather conditions and visibility factors for safe climbing.

A C-47 transport plane crash near Mount Makaturing in 1947 led to naming the Zamboanga City air base after Philippine Air Force commander Edwin Andrews.

Elevation above the sea: 1,940 m
