The broad isthmus between Lagonoy Gulf and San Miguel Bay in SE Luzon is occupied by Mount Isarog. The andesitic stratovolcano is truncated by a 2.5-km-wide crater that is breached to the east along a narrow valley drained by the Quinarag River. A major debris avalanche deposit extends NW to the coast and into San Miguel Bay. Pyroclastic flows originating from lava dome collapses have occurred during the Holocene, one of which has a calibrated radiocarbon date of about 5,500 years BP. The Maalsom vent displays gas seepages, warm springs, and steaming vents.
