Ambil Island is an extinct volcanic island rising to over 760 meters (2,490 ft) and is about 26 square kilometers (10 sq mi) in area. During the earlier part of the Spanish Colonial Era, Ambil was reported to be in eruption. But when it was climbed by German scientist Carl Semper in the latter part of 19th century, he found no evidence that it has erupted in historical times. It is the 93rd largest island in the Philippine archipelago. Read More: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubang_Island
