Babuyon Claro is a heavily forested stratovolcano near the center of Babuyan Island. The volcano has erupted at least 8 times since 1652. Six of these eruptions have been at Smith Volcano, a vent on the west part of Babuyan Island. Smith Volcano is a well preserved symmetrical cinder cone. The 1831 eruption of Babuyon Claro was the largest (VEI=4) and caused damage. The most recent eruption was in 1924 at Smith Volcano.
