It is 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) north of Polomolok, and about 30 kilometres (19 mi) north-northwest of General Santos City.


Physical features


Matutum is a stratovolcano that rises 2,286 metres (7,500 ft) asl with a base diameter of 25 kilometres (16 mi).[4]

It has 2 hot springs, called Acmonan and Linan, 5.7 kilometres (3.5 mi) west-southwest of the volcano.

Adjacent volcanic edifices are Landayao, Tampad, and Albulhek, which are all west of the volcano, and Magolo to the north.

There is a well-preserved 320-metre (1,050 ft) wide crater at the volcano's summit. The crater is breached by three gorges and has a 120-metre (390 ft) deep, densely forested floor.[2]

Volcanologists suspect that Matutum may have had a phreatic eruption on March 7, 1911.[4]

Matutum is one of the active volcanoes in the Philippines. All are part of the Pacific ring of fire.

Il monte Matutum è uno stratovulcano attivo costituito di andesite situato nel territorio di Cotabato, nella parte più meridionale della grande isola di Mindanao, nell'estremo sud dell'arcipelago delle Filippine. Affacciato sulla città di General Santos, si erge per 2 286 m sopra il livello del mare ed è caratterizzato sulla sommità dal residuo di un cratere largo 320 metri e profondo 120 coperto di vegetazione e interrotto da tre gole. Intorno all'edificio vulcanico sono osservabili depositi piroclastici silicei. A circa 5 chilometri a Ovest-sud-ovest del vulcano si trovano le fonti di acqua calda Akmoan e Linan.
