The three E-W-trending summit cones of the Tanaga volcanic complex, Sajaka, Tanaga, and East Tanaga (from left to right) are seen from the summit of Takawangha volcano. Tanaga is the central and highest of three at the NW tip of Tanaga Island. The ridge to the lower left is part of a caldera rim that formed by the collapse of an ancestral Tanaga edifice during the Pleistocene.
