Cu-Lao Re Group, Volcanic field in Quảng Ngãi, Vietnam.
Cu-Lao Re Group is a volcanic field comprising thirteen cones scattered off the coast of Quảng Ngãi. Four of these rise above the East Sea, while nine rest submerged beneath the water.
The volcanic formations merged together over time to create the main island, while a separate cone developed independently into its own landmass. These geological processes shaped the group as we see it today.
Local fishermen from Quảng Ngãi Province maintain generations-old navigation techniques to sail around these volcanic formations.
The islands are reached by scheduled boat services operating from ports on the mainland in Quảng Ngãi Province. It is wise to check conditions before visiting, as weather can affect travel times and accessibility.
The submerged cones harbor coral reefs and submarine volcanic structures that support diverse marine life. Divers can explore these underwater formations to witness the geological layers and biological communities that thrive in these waters.
