Puzzle #75 was Kasuga 2.
Kasuga 2, also referred to as Minami Kasuga (South Kasuga), is the central of three volcanoes forming the Kasuga seamount chain, which trends SSW from the volcanic front of the Izu-Marianas arc. It rises from about 3,000 m depth to within 170 m of the ocean surface. Two subsidiary cones are located low on the E flank.

What the record says
Puzzle 75 ran on 22 Sep 2026 and the answer was Kasuga 2, played with 6 guesses against 8 columns. On the record: Country - United States; Region - Northwestern Pacific Volcanic Regions; Type - stratovolcano; Tectonic setting - subduction; Elevation - submarine; Rock type - basalt; Historically observed - not-observed. 1 of the 8 columns is blank in the source (Last eruption), so nobody could score it either way.
Volcanodle builds its record from Global Volcanism Program, Smithsonian Institution (Venzke, E. (ed.), Volcanoes of the World, volcano.si.edu). The description above comes from the same place the game credits on every reveal: A verbatim excerpt of the volcano's GVP Geological Summary. The puzzle itself is still playable in the archive, and every answer that has been and gone is listed on the past-answers page.
