Camiguin Has More Volcanoes Than Anywhere on Earth
Top 4 in Top 10 Facts about Strange Volcanoes
The Philippine island of Camiguin has the appearance of a tropical paradise. The lush forest and stunning scenery hide the reality that nobody lives here and that not many people visit. The volcanic activity on the island is to blame for that.
Camiguin has more volcanoes than any other place on Earth in terms of area. On the island, there are more than 20 cinder cones—the typical shape of a volcano that most people are familiar with. All of them are taller than 100 meters.
It is not against the law to visit, and tourists do come to enjoy trekking, swimming, and even to climb the volcanoes. No one would want to spend an extended period of time in a region with the greatest concentration of volcanoes in the world.
