From Manila, it is about 50 kilometres (31 mi) southeast to Mount Makiling, its most prominent volcanic feature. The field is composed of over 200 dormant and monogenetic maars , crater lakes , scoria cones , and stratovolcanoes , the tallest of which is Mount Makiling at 1,090 m (3,580 ft) in elevation.
The andesitic Banahaw volcanic complex is composed of several stratovolcanoes with Mount Banahaw, the largest with a maximum elevation of 2,170 metres (7,119 ft) above mean sea level. The summit is topped by a 1.5 by 3.5 kilometres (0.93 mi × 2.17 mi) and 210 metres (690 ft) deep crater that is breached on the southern rim believed to have ...
