The best preserved volcano in the Milbanke Sound group is Kitasu Hill, a symmetrical pyroclastic cone rising above the southern shore of Swindle Island to a crescent-shaped summit crater at an elevation of 250 m. It consists mainly of subaerial tephra and volcanic bombs enclosing remnants of olivine basalt flows.
