Mount Musuan

Volcanic Formations

Mount Musuan, also known as Musuan Peak or Mount Calayo, rises abruptly from the flat plain of Maramag municipality in Bukidnon province, Mindanao, Philippines, reaching an elevation of about 646 meters. It is a small but distinctive lava dome and tuff cone, its steep, near-symmetrical profile standing out sharply against the surrounding lowland since it has no connected mountain range around it, which has made it a popular short climb and a local landmark visible from the national highway. This entity documents Mount Musuan specifically as a geological formation, an isolated lava dome and tuff cone rising sharply from the Bukidnon plain.
