  1. I'm sure that you already know that Mount Canlaon (also Kanlaon) is an active stratovolcano that lies above a subduction zone. It has a crater lake that lies within a caldera. Other cones and craters have smaller lakes. Samoc Lagoon: "The crystal clear SAMOC (San Agustin Mountaineering Club) Lagoon also offers a daring exploration into a cave with cathedral-shaped chamber w/ a 50 meter hallway and passage that leads to inner chambers. This was named after a group of mountaineers w/c explored it in the late 70's. "http://www.geocities.com/sierratrekkers/kanlaon/kan08.html RAMS LAGOON The crystal clear RAMS (Recoletos Association of Mountaineering Society) Lagoon, one of the many water sources in Mt. Kanla-on. Is named after the group which discovered it in the mid-80's. PMS Lagoon It has 3 hotsprings: Mambucal Hot Springs on the northwest, Bucalan Hot Spring, Bungol Hot Spring. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canlaon_Volcano http://www.volcano.si.edu/world/volcano.cfm?vnum=0702-02= http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:kF-NXgxqwaYJ:www.phivolcs.dost.gov.ph/Flyers/VOLCANO/Kanlaon.doc+%2BCanlaon+%2B%22hot+springs%22&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=4&gl=us "Mambucal thermal area is nested within a roughly semi-circular depression (collapse structure) that defines the famous Mambucal Health Resort in Negros Occidental. It is located at the northwest slope of Kanlaon at about 8 km from the crater. Mambucal has the largest cluster of thermal manifestations with the largest patch having an area of 100 sq. m. The thermal area is composed of hot grounds with numerous active steaming vents and a large number of compositionally diverse thermal springs which issue at low rates of outflow over a temperature range of 42°C to local boiling." Rivers flowing down from the steep highlands sometimes encounter drops that result in waterfalls. Quipot Falls are apparently fed by three tributary rivers: three tributary rivers – Binalbagan, Malaiba and Linothangan
