Sunken Cemetery in Camiguin Island
>> Wednesday, May 12, 2010
The sunken cemetery used to be part of the old capital of Camiguin. Mount Vulcan had four recorded eruptions.
Its third eruption in 1871 sunk Cotta Bato and its cemetery under the sea. Remnants of the structures and gravestones were still seen during low tide but the fourth eruption in 1948 buried the area deeper by around 20 feet. In 1982, a large cross was built on the solidified lava to mark this old gravesite.
Another tourist spot you can pass by and visit when you want to go to Sto. Nino Cold Springs. Other nearer tourist spots in these areas are the Gui-ob Old Church Ruins and the Walkway To The Old Volcano and Stations Of The Cross.
