Taftan (volcano) published in 1897 indicated the absence of very fresh lava flows but the authors inferred from the fresh ash that volcanic activity had occurred during the present geological epoch. That the name "Taftan" may be derived from an ancient Iranian word "taft" for "semi solid liquid material" could indicate that effusive activity was witnessed by the people of that time period around the volcano.

In 1914, the volcano was described to be "belching out clouds of smoke", although
Cabalian Volcano Cabalian Volcano Cabalian Volcano("Kabalianon: Bukid Kantayoktok)" is an active volcano located in the province of Southern Leyte (Region VIII) in the Philippines. Cabalian is classified by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) as active with solfataric activity. Radiocarbon dating on a pyroclastic flow deposit from the volcano estimated that the last eruption was in 1820 +/- 30 years. The cinder cone volcano has an elevation of with a base diameter of . The predominant rock type is andesite. Beside solfataras, other thermal features present are hot springs located on the east and west flank of the volcano. Mainit
