This article has only one source - and it displays a completely blank screen for me (3/19/2019). Does this need to be updated?74.93.74.202 (talk) 23:14, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is actually really weird. When I search Mount Pendan, all I get are webpages with the exact same text on them - "there is little known about this volcano". And when I go to google maps at the provided coordinates, all I see are a bunch of trees. Does this volcano actually exist? 74.93.74.202 (talk) 23:19, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have replaced the taken down site with the archived version. Have you used the 3D function of Google Maps/Google Earth? Mount Pendan is an actual mountain but could also be a now inactive volcano. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.202.31.174 (talk) 16:10, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dubious existence

[edit]

Not sure who wrote this, but I copied this from the main article:

So little [is known about the volcano], in fact, it might not actually exist. All sources found on the web of said volcano copied from the same Smithsonian listing, which has the exist same information as this wikipedia (when accessed via wayback machine, as the site is down now), down to the letter. Yes, this was copied and pasted verbatim from that listing. All other references to it online have done the same. When actually looking in google maps to the coordinates of the supposed volcano, no volcano is seen. Just trees. My hypothesis is that this volcano is a Phantom settlement, added via the Smithsonian to trap people who copied from their site without checking sources.
