Mount Iraya is a heavily forested stratovolcano located on Batan Island, one of the Batanes Islands, in the province of Batanes, in the Luzon Strait, north of the island of Luzon, in the Philippines. It is part of the Pacific ring of Fire..
I saw its imposing beauty during my first time in Batanes, the 29th province on my list.
