Mount Mandalagan is a complex volcano located at latitude 10.65° North (10°39'0"N), longitude 123.25° East (123°15'0"E), in the province of Negros Occidental, on the north of the island of Negros of the Philippines. It is located inside the Northern Negros Natural Park.
Mandalagan is a solfataric, fumarolic, potentially active stratovolcano. Mandalagan is also known as or Lying Women for the Bacolodnons and Negrenses.
Physical Features[]
Elevation is 1885 metres (6,184 feet), with a base diameter of 26 kilometres.
Mandalagan is a deeply dissected complex volcano, with a highly altered volcanic dome.
Volcanic activity is reported to include seven volcanic centres, at least five craters and/or calderas up to 2 km in diameter, and a vigorous solfataric area at the highly altered volcanic dome structure.
One solfataric area emits a high-temperature (106 degrees C) plume to 30 m height with a roaring noise like a high-pressure geothermal borehole.

The Smithsonian listing has a satellite photograph of the general area.
Geological Features[]
Mandalagan is part of the Negros Volcanic Belt.
Rock type is principally andesitic with some dacitic
A crater located near the center called "Tinagong Dagat", where hikers camp.
