Mount Banahaw

Volcanic Formations

Mount Banahaw stands at the boundary of Laguna and Quezon provinces on the island of Luzon in the Philippines, dominating the surrounding landscape for miles around as the highest mountain in both provinces and in the wider Calabarzon region. It is an active complex volcano with three distinct peaks, its shape reflecting a long history of overlapping eruptive centers rather than a single simple cone. This entity documents Mount Banahaw specifically as a geological formation, an active three-peaked complex volcano and the highest point of Calabarzon.
