Pengchiahsu is one of five small Pleistocene volcanic islands NE of Taiwan. The summit of the andesitic island (also known as Agincourt) reaches only 129 m above sea level. The age of volcanism is considered to be Pleistocene, but it was reported to display fumarolic activity (Volcanological Society of Japan, 1971). However, there are no more recent reports of fumaroles or other indications of ongoing unrest as of 2015, and the Central Geological Survey makes no mention of them, though it does for other locations.
