Mount Natib, Dormant stratovolcano in Bataan, Philippines
Mount Natib is a dormant volcano in Bataan with a distinctive acorn-shaped caldera opening toward the northwest. Hot springs scattered across thermal zones show where geothermal heat still reaches the surface.
The mountain last erupted between 11,000 to 18,000 years ago, leaving traces of pyroclastic flows that reached Subic Bay. These ancient eruptions shaped the surrounding landscape significantly.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology monitors this volcano, which holds significance for local geological research and environmental preservation.
The mountain requires preparation for rugged terrain with thick vegetation and steep sections. The thermal areas are accessible but sturdy footwear and plenty of water are essential.
A secondary volcanic formation called Pasukulan Caldera sits east of the main structure and tells part of the mountain's complex geological story. This smaller caldera is often overlooked by visitors exploring the area.
