Crater Mountain, an arcuate chain of peaks, is extensively eroded to the point that its volcanic origin is almost unrecognizable. However, steep-sided valleys to the N and E are floored by lava flows and other young volcanic features. The easternmost Agotu Valley contains several small craters, cinder cones, and maars of late-Pleistocene or Holocene age (Mackenzie and Johnson, 1984). Several small cones, lava domes, and associated lava flows N and NW of the Erun Anticline may, in part, be Holocene in age.
