Pyre Peak was constructed within a 3-km-wide caldera and is seen from near the western tip of Seguam Island. The 11.5 x 24 km island contains two calderas, each with a Holocene cone. A third Holocene cone is at the eastern end of the island. The cone rises 1 km above the caldera floor and has been the source of many of the historical eruptions.
