Stratovulcano · Philippines · 912 m

The summit of Cabalían contains a crater lake, visible near the center of this 10 August 2019 Sentinel-2 satellite image (N is at the top) which is approximately 11 km across. The Cantoloc cone is immediately N of the main crater, and geothermal activity occurs on the eroded E and W flanks.

Sintesi geologica

Mount Cabalían, at the SE tip of Leyte Island, is dissected by steep radial ridges that are moderately to thickly vegetated. A lake fills the summit crater of the andesitic volcano, which has an irregular rim with two high peaks on the southern side. A thermoluminescence date of about 510,000 years BP was obtained from Cantoloc stratovolcano immediately to the NW. A radiocarbon date of about 135 +/- 30 years BP was obtained from a pyroclastic-flow deposit from Cabalían. Hot springs are found on the E and W flanks.
