Description
Didica Volcano is an active volcano in the Luzon Volcanic Arc at the southern end of this chain near Calayan. The cone rises above the sea with steep sides and shows volcanic rock formations visible from the water on clear days.
History
The volcano first appeared above sea level in 1952 following earlier eruptions that date back to 1773. This long history of activity shaped the formation of the Luzon Volcanic Arc over nearly two centuries.
