Location

The Pocdol Mountains form part of the boundary between the provinces of Albay and Sorsogon, in Region V, on the island of Luzon, in the Philippines.

The group is located south-east of Mayon Volcano, between Albay Gulf and Sorsogon Bay, at latitude 13.05°N (13°3'0"N), longitude 123.958°E (123°57'30"E).

Physical features

The Pocdol Mountains have a triangular footprint of about 225 square kilometres (87 sq mi).

There are several peaks above 1000 metres in elevation. The highest point is reported as 1,102 metres (3,615 ft) above sea level.[1]

A fumarole field that contains solfataras and chloride hot springs, is reported to be located near the summit of the volcanic group.

The group is described by the Smithsonian Institution's Global Volcanism Program as fumarolic.

Eruptions

There are no reports of eruptions.

Geology

Several Pleistocene K-Ar dates have been obtained from the volcanic complex. Most igneous rocks in the Pocdol Mountains consist of pyroxene andesites with minor amounts of dacite and basalts. The area is traversed by the San Vicente-Linao Fault, a splay of the Philippine Fault.

Volcanic cones in the western part of the complex are dissected, but those in the eastern part are morphologically youthful.

The volcanic area is the host of various geothermal systems collectively called the Bacon-Manito geothermal field.

[de] Pocdolberge

Die Pocdolberge, auch Bacon-Manito-Komplex, sind ein Gebirge auf der Insel Luzon auf den Philippinen. Bei den Pocdolbergen handelt es sich um einen Vulkankomplex, der ein Gebiet von 225 km² in der Bicol-Region bedeckt. Das dreieckig geformte Gebirge liegt zwischen der Bucht von Sorsogon und des Golfs von Albay im Südosten des Mayon. Die vulkanischen Kegel im westlichen Teil sind erodiert und älter als die Vulkankegel im Osten, diese sind geomorphologisch jüngeren Datums.
