Camiguin de Babuyanes, Stratovolcano on Camiguin Island, Babuyan Islands, Philippines.

Mount Camiguin rises 712 meters above sea level at the southwest tip of Camiguin Island, featuring dense forest coverage and steep slopes.

The volcano experienced a significant phreatic eruption in 1857, marking the only recorded volcanic activity in its documented geological history.

The indigenous inhabitants of Camiguin Island maintain traditional fishing and farming practices while living in proximity to this natural formation.

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology monitors the volcanic activity through instrumental measurements and regular aerial surveys.

Scientists study the geological formations dating back to the Pliocene era, when andesitic volcanic activity first shaped the island structure.
