Eruptive History

There is data available for 0 confirmed Holocene eruptive periods.

[ 1886 Dec 31 ± 365 days ] Uncertain Eruption

Maso (1902) related that in a 1891 document a Jesuit priest (Father Barado) had reported that a volcano along the River Palangui near a waterfall and where the river forms a very narrow canyon with steep high banks had "burst into eruption some four years ago and constantly emits vapors which burn everything about... there is no flow of lava, but it emits a column of smoke so sulphurous as to prevent any approach." Although Maso (1902) attributed this activity to Musuan, the geographic description does not match, so both the nature and location of this event is uncertain.
