Equatorial Guinea has 3 Holocene volcanoes. Note that as a scientific organization we provide these listings for informational purposes only, with no international legal or policy implications. Volcanoes will be included on this list if they are within the boundaries of a country, on a shared boundary or area, in a remote territory, or within a maritime Exclusive Economic Zone. Bolded volcanoes have erupted within the past 20 years. Suggestions and data updates are always welcome ().

There are 6 photos available for volcanoes in Equatorial Guinea.

A dark-colored lake partially fills a small caldera (top-center) occupying the summit of San Joaquin volcano in this NASA Landsat view with north to the top. This basaltic shield volcano, also known as Pico Biao, lies on the SE side of Bioko (Fernando Poo) Island in the Gulf of Guinea. Part of the broad summit caldera of neighboring San Carlos volcano can be seen at the left.

NASA Landsat 7 image (worldwind.arc.nasa.gov) Santa Isabel volcano occupies the northern end of Bioko (Fernando Poo) Island in this NASA Landsat view with north to the upper left. A large escarpment cuts the northern side of the 3,007-m-high volcano, whose summit is cut by regional NE-SW-trending faults. Numerous scoria cones are present, many of which lie along the same tectonic trend. Santa Isabel is the only Bioko Island volcano with reported historical eruptions, although they are poorly documented. The brown area along the northern coast is the capital city of Malabo.

San Carlos is located in the south of Bioko Island in Equatorial Guinea and has a roughly 5.5-km-wide caldera, seen here in a 5 January 2019 Sentinel-2 satellite image (N at the top). A valley through the SW flank opens the crater towards the Atlantic Ocean.

Santa Isabel (also called Pico Basile) is near the northern end of Bioko Island in Equatorial Guinea, seen here in this May 2019 Planet Labs satellite image mosaic (N at the top). Several eruptions occurred on the SE flank between 1989 and 1923. Several craters are visible across the summit area through the center of this image.

This a basaltic shield volcano forms the toe on the SW side of boot-shaped Bioko (Fernando Poo) Island. This NASA Landsat view (with north to the top) also shows neighboring San Joaquin volcano, with its smaller lake-filled caldera, at the right.

NASA Landsat 7 image (worldwind.arc.nasa.gov) Lago Biao fills the San Joaquin (also called Pico Biao) caldera, seen in this 26 December 2017 Sentinel-2 satellite image (N at the top). The caldera is approximately 1.5 km wide and is covered in dense forest. It is W of San Carlos, in the SE of Bioko Island in Equatorial Guinea.
