Babuyan Island lies about south-southwestward of
Balintang Islands, and about northward of
Cape Engaño Lighthouse. The nearly triangular island is about long in a northeast and southwest direction, with an average width of about . The island seems to be steep all around. A reef projects from its western point. The south point is steep and rocky with a black, rocky,
sugarloaf islet, called
Pan de Azucar, close inshore.
Volcanoes Near the western point of the island is
Smith Volcano, also known as Mount Babuyan, about high. In the middle of the island and east-southeastward from Smith is
Babuyan Claro, also known as Mount Pangasun, about high, between which the mountains are much lower, so that from a considerable distance eastward it appears as a round mountain with a detached
hillock northward. There are three other volcanic cones with no historic eruptions on the island: Cayonan, Dionisio and Naydi. ==See also==
