The Location, White Island Camiguin
The island, though small in size in terms of area and population, is one of a kind place. It has a total number of seven active volcanoes, and it ironically became the reason for the place’s unique beauty. The White Island, or better to call it as a sandbar, is located near the bottom of the Mount Hibok-Hibok, one of the seven active volcanoes in the entire island.
The volcanic eruptions in the past (1872 and 1950) have eld to the different beauty of the place. It made the land fertile in terms of planting crops, one of which is the famous sweet lanzones. It also allows destruction and eventually reconstruction into a much scenic view of some places. Thus, beautiful damage as what other people have to say is what describes the site in general.
