Physical features

The volcano is a submarine volcano rising to within 24 metres (79 ft) of the sea surface, 3.2 kilometres (2.0 mi) due west of Dequey Volcano.

It is one of the active volcanoes in the Philippines.

Eruptions

Submarine eruptions reported in 1773, 1850, and 1854 are likely to have originated from this volcano. There have been no further reports since 1854.
