Guguan

The island of Guguan, ~2.8 km in diameter, is composed of an eroded volcano on the south, a caldera with a post-caldera cone, and a northern volcano. The latter has three coalescing cones and a breached summit crater that fed lava flows to the W and NW. The only known reported eruption, between 1882 and 1884, produced the northern volcano and lava flows that reached the coast. Freycinet (Uranie 1817 Expedition) confused Guguan and Alamagan; reported eruptions in 1819 and 1901 (Kuno, 1962 CAVW) actually refer to solfataric activity on Alamagan (Corwin, 1971).
