Bud Dajo, Extinct volcano in Sulu, Philippines

Rising 620 meters above sea level, Bud Dajo features a summit crater measuring 0.5 kilometers across with a base diameter of 9.5 kilometers.

The First Battle of Bud Dajo in 1906 involved U.S. military forces against local inhabitants who sought refuge within the volcanic crater.

The mountain holds deep meaning for Tausug communities, who maintain traditional stories about the spirits dwelling within its forested slopes.

Mount Dajo National Park, established in 1938, encompasses the volcano and provides opportunities for studying local bird species and geological formations.

Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology investigations in 1993 and 1997 detected no seismic activity despite historical reports of eruptions.
