Leonard Kniaseff is one of the active volcanoes in the Philippines, part of the Pacific ring of fire.
Activity edit
The Leonard Kniaseff Volcano's area has been an object to a geothermal exploration program.[3]
Manat thermal area is north of Lake Leonard, solfataras occur around its southwest rim, and active solfataras, fumaroles, and hot springs are found in the Amacan-Gopod thermal area south of the lake.[citation needed]
There was a scare in 1995 but PHIVOLCS' investigation at that time did not disclose any unusual activity, and no unusual activity has been reported since then.[citation needed]
