The small volcanic island of Mare, immediately south of Tidore, was mapped as Holocene in age by Apandi and Sudana (1980). The 2 x 3 km island, part of a chain of volcanic islands off the western coast of Halmahera Island, is elongated in a NE-SW direction. A large breached crater at the andesitic Mare volcano is located off the SW tip of the 308-m-high island.
