With a previous eruption of VEI 4, Doña Juana is rated as a "large" volcano of "cataclysmic" destructive power.[3] During its last eruption, in 1906,[2] more than 100 people were killed and many houses were destroyed.
Its largest known historical eruption was on November 13, 1899. In its prehistory, it is known to have erupted in the 23rd century BC in a caldera-forming eruption of unknown magnitude.[3]
