Activity

The Leonard Kniaseff Volcano's area has been an object to a geothermal exploration program. Manat thermal area is north of Lake Leonard, solfataras occur around its southwest rim, and active solfataras, fumaroles, and hot springs are found in the Amacan-Gopod thermal area south of the lake. There was a scare in 1995 but PHIVOLCS' investigation at that time did not disclose any unusual activity, and no unusual activity has been reported since then. Its last eruption was dated as early as c. 120 AD.
