Mount Kalatungan

Kalatungan mountain range

The Kalatungan (also known as Catatungan ) is 2824 m, the second highest volcano and the sixth highest mountain in the Philippines. The volcano is located in the center of the island of Mindanao, close to the city Pangantucan, east of the Lanao Lake in the province of Bukidnon. The mainly basaltic stratovolcano forms a mountain range that runs east-west direction and as the Mount Kalatungan Range Natural Park is a nature reserve since 2000.

The Kalatungan has a base diameter of 44 km and was rated in 2004 by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology as " potentially active"; it is likely that the Katalungan had its last eruption in the Holocene. A narrowing- time determination of its last eruption is unknown.

The source of the Cagayan River rises on the northern edge of the Kalatungan at an altitude of about 2,500 meters.
