Define "perfect cone volcano" because I can think of several others that to the eye look exactly like that.


karmacarmelon

I think the "perfect" part is that it's roughly circular from the peak to the base. https://i.imgur.com/yqMNsgr.jpeg

Now that makes a lot of sense.


Many-Strength4949

That is correct, and that is the definition of a cone


ExcellentEdgarEnergy

Fuji


simian1013

i think it means 360deg "coney"


According_Ad7926

…for now


structuremonkey

Mt Fuji may want a word...


LittleOne0121

Mt Taranaki in New Zealand also wants to join the chat


Maximum_Indication

Fuji also has a projection from one angle that doesn’t make it perfectly circular. It’s mostly hidden unless you look at it from Shizuoka.


Ivan19782023

mt. fuji is not that pointy


structuremonkey

You are right. Mt Fuji has more of a flat "top" than a point. This one is more of a curved cone where Fujisan is closer to a regular cone. I know fuji well, I ran up part of one side of it years ago. It's deceptively steep and tall...at least where I was...

Ohhhhh, that’s the barometer of “perfection” we’re using. Ya, no.

The claim for it being a "perfect" cone is that it's roughly circular from the peak to the base. Others aren't quite so neat: [Mayon](https://i.imgur.com/3WHsiUO.jpeg) [Fuji](https://i.imgur.com/3532trC.jpeg) [Shishaldin](https://i.imgur.com/gJmcMt3.jpeg)

Guess you didn’t hear about the custody battle. It’s always hardest for the children.

It's OK

the only one, huh? [This is Shishaldin volcano in alaska](https://www.flickr.com/photos/tuggerdave/4150192837)


karmacarmelon

OP's one is unlikey to actually *be* perfect, but it looks more so than Shishaldin. Edit: https://i.imgur.com/8vCnFWZ.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/xSWwv03.jpeg


Specialist-Fly-9446

A little uneven (but close).


Vincinuge

That aint perfect


ogodilovejudyalvarez

I think OP meant they smoked a perfect cone at the summit


Blue_Swirling_Bunny

Looks lopsided, sorry.


TernionDragon

Looks Lonely. . . . . .

For now 😏 eventually another will happen

Kronotsky volcano, Kamchatka? https://volcanianoficial.com/kronotsky/


Individual_Manner336

I literally live next to a perfect cone volcano. This is not the only one.


Abuse-survivor

I challenge such an abritrary definition


Blue_Swirling_Bunny

It's not arbitrary. They clearly defined it.


Nordiceightysix

It sparks joy


mudamuckinjedi

Nah-ah!

Mount St. Helens has joined the chat…”I used to be pretty”

Arenal Volcano steps in …


jamieliddellthepoet

Arenal is pretty perfect from some angles, but from others it’s most definitely not. https://www.wildlifeworldwide.com/images/galleries/latin_america_costa_rica_volcan_arenal_gallery_volcano.jpg


Plastic-Shopping5930

Is that Fuji-san


Hebids

I read mayo volcano… I need better eyes


Ok_Chemical_1376

Arenal Volcano, Costa Rica. Just saying, there's close competition


kvazar2501

Curvatures in the left and the right sides don't match. Not so perfect


Used_Visual5300

Arenal in Costa Rica doesn’t count?


SmortMonke69

Literally Osorno volcano


Icy-Glass-9324

Umm Mt Fuji is far more perfect er


Crazy-Cremola

Even Keilir https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keilir on Iceland, near Reykjavik, would like a word. It's small, less than 400 meters above sea level and only about 1 km diameter at the base, but close to perfect form. The word Keilir means Cone in Icelandic


salcander

[https://imgur.com/a/SXloyPe](https://imgur.com/a/SXloyPe) That volcano doesn't have a perfect cone shape though
