South Pagan volcano occupies the SW end of Pagan Island and has four craters. The ridge in the foreground is the eroded rim of a 4-km-wide caldera containing the cone. Eruptions occurred during the 19th century, and North Pagan at the far center on the NE tip of the island has been frequently active.
