}}Mount Balatukan is a massive compound stratovolcano in the northern island of Mindanao, Philippines. It is the highest point in the province of Misamis Oriental. The volcano has no historical eruptions but displays fumarolic activity. The {{convert|2450|m|adj=on}} mountain is topped by a triangular shaped caldera {{convert|15|km|sp=us}} long and {{convert|10.6|km|sp=us}} at its widest. The Balatocan River emanates from and drains the huge crater.[2]

The mountain is a protected area in the country classified as a Natural Park, the Mount Balatukan Range Natural Park. The park has an area of {{convert|8,423.00|ha}} with a buffer zone of {{convert|1,222.00|ha}}. It was created on March 6, 2007 by Proclamation no. 1249.[3]

Location

Mount Balatukan is wholly located in Province of Misamis Oriental in the Northern Mindanao region of the Philippines. The coastal road between Balingasag, Misamis Oriental and Gingoog City rims the northern perimeter of the mountain on the north coast of Mindanao.

Physical features

Mount Balatukan is a stratovolcano with a listed elevation of {{convert|2450|m|sp=us}} asl (GVP). The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS).

Satellite imagery shows it to be densely forested peninsula jutting north into the Bohol Sea.[4]

Volcanism

There are no historical eruptions on Mount Balatukan. The age of its last eruption has not been studied, although some lava flows on the sides of the mountain are determined as Pleistocene. Fumarolic activity is present on the mountain, but its form displays extensive erosion.[5]

Balatukan is part of the Central Mindanao Arc of volcanoes. Its northernmost tip called Sipaka Point, which points to the northeast, is a {{convert|267|m|sp=us}} cinder cone on a small peninsula called Mount Sipaka.[6]

Listings

The Global Volcanism Program lists the last activity of Balatukan as Holocene but Uncertain.[7]

Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) lists Balatukan as Inactive, even though the volcano displays fumarolic activity.[8]
