Resumen geológico
Pico Basilé is the largest and highest of three basaltic shield volcanoes forming Bioko Island. Lying on the continental shelf along the Cameroon Line, this volcano is modified by the same NNE faults as Mt. Cameroon across the Gulf of Guinea on the mainland. It contains numerous satellitic cinder cones and is the only Bioko Island volcano with recorded eruptions, although they are poorly documented. Three eruptions, during the late-19th and early-20th centuries, have been reported from SE flank vents.

From the summit, Mount Cameroon can be seen to the north-east. Pico Basilé lies close to the city of Malabo.
