Leonard Kniaseff, Active stratovolcano in Davao de Oro, Philippines
Leonard Kniaseff is an active stratovolcano that rises to 1,190 meters and contains a crater lake named Lake Leonard. The structure displays volcanic features and geological characteristics that define the landscape.
The volcano experienced its last recorded eruption around 120 AD based on scientific analysis. This ancient event shows the volcano was active during early historical times.
The surrounding communities have developed a deep connection to the volcanic landscape that shapes how they live and relate to the environment. This bond with the land influences daily practices and decisions in the region.
Visitors must obtain permits from local authorities and the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology before exploring the area. Planning ahead and following these requirements ensures a safe visit.
The Amacan Thermal Area south of the lake displays active geothermal features including hot springs and fumaroles. These features provide rare glimpses into the volcano's ongoing subsurface activity.
