South Pagan volcano occupies the SW end of Pagan Island and has four craters. The ridge in the foreground is the eroded rim of a 4-km-wide caldera containing the cone. Eruptions occurred during the 19th century, and North Pagan at the far center on the NE tip of the island has been frequently active. Photo by U.S. Navy, 1981.
