Kanlaon Volcano, Active volcano in Negros Oriental and Negros Occidental, Philippines
Mount Kanlaon rises to 2435 meters with two summit cones, making it the highest mountain on Negros Island in the Visayas region.
The volcano recorded 30 eruptions since 1819, with the most notable Strombolian eruption occurring in 1902 that affected surrounding communities.
The name derives from Laon, a pre-colonial Visayan goddess of creation and agriculture who was believed to govern harvests and crop protection.
Visitors need to obtain permits from local authorities and check volcanic activity alerts before planning hikes on the established mountain trails.
The northern caldera contains a seasonal crater lake while numerous fissure-controlled pyroclastic cones spread across the volcanic landscape.
