Didica Volcano, Active volcanic island in Cagayan, Philippines.

The Didica Volcano rises 228 meters above sea level with a base diameter of 1,200 meters at the southern end of Luzon Volcanic Arc.

The volcano emerged from beneath the ocean in 1952, following previous surface breaches dating back to its first recorded submarine eruption in 1773.

Local fishing communities in the Babuyan Islands maintain traditional practices while navigating the waters near this volcanic formation in the Luzon Strait.

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology monitors the volcano's activity and implements safety regulations for maritime traffic in the area.

Three fishermen lost their lives near the volcano in 1969, marking the first recorded casualties in its documented history.
