Babuyan Claro, Active volcano in Babuyan Islands, Philippines.
Babuyan Claro is an active volcano in the Babuyan Islands that rises roughly 1,150 m (3,770 ft) above sea level. The summit displays two distinct crater basins of varying sizes that reflect the volcano's complex internal structure.
The volcano is known for several major eruptions in documented history, particularly through events that affected the surrounding islands in earlier centuries. This volcanic activity has made the mountain a site of scientific and geological interest.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology maintains regular monitoring stations to track volcanic activities and protect local communities.
The best time to visit is during the dry season between November and April, when conditions are most favorable. Reaching the site requires boat travel from mainland Luzon, so advance planning is needed.
On the southern slope stands a hot spring whose water flows directly from volcanic deposits and remains naturally warm. This thermal source reveals the volcano's ongoing internal heat in a striking way.
