Cù-Lao Ré is a volcanic field northeast of Quảng Ngãi province, Vietnam. The field consists of 13 volcanic cones, four of which are subaerial and nine submarine. Three of the subaerial cones formed the Cù-Lao Ré island, while the fourth one formed the Cù-Lao Bai island.[1] The islands form the Lý Sơn district of Quảng Ngãi province.
