Sarigan Volcano - John Seach
Mariana Islands
16.708 N, 145.78 E
summit elevation 538 m
Sarigan volcano forms a 3-km-long, roughly triangular island in the central Mariana Islands. It contains a 750 m wide summit crater an a small ash cone.
There have been no recorded eruptions at Sarigan volcano, but it has probably erupted in the past 10,000 years. The youngest eruptions produced two lava domes from vents near the south crater rim. Lava flows from the domes reached the coast and extended out to sea, forming irregular shorelines.
