Pagan is a volcanic island in the Marianas archipelago in the northwest Pacific Ocean, under the jurisdiction of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. It lies midway between Alamagan to the south and Agrihan to the north. The island has been largely uninhabited ever since most of its 50 residents were evacuated due to volcanic eruptions in 1981.

The volcano on Pagan is monitored by the USGS, which issues weekly updates about volcanic activity.^[2] The island actually has two stratovolcanoes, one on the north and another in the south.^[3]
