As sources and references about Mount Pendan are solely based on the Smithsonian listing which lacks further information, there are doubts about the volcano's existence. The coordinates reveal a mountain covered by dense forest. It is unclear whether Pendan is an actual volcano, a misidentified mountain or valley which may or may not be of volcanic origin, or a copyright trap fabricated by the Smithsonian Institution.

So little, 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.
