[edit] Activity
The Leonard Kniazeff (North Davao) area has been the object of a geothermal exploration program.
Manat thermal area is located north of Lake Leonard, solfataras occur around its SW rim, and active solfataras, fumaroles, and hot springs are found in the Amacan-Gopod thermal area south of the lake.
There was a scare in 1995 but PHIVOLCS investigation at the time did not disclose any unusual activity, and no unusual activity has been reported since.
