Mayon Volcano enters its 21st day of effusive eruption. On the night of January 27, Phivolcs recorded crater glow, lava flows, PDCs ("uson"), and rockfalls in the Mi-isi, Bonga, and Basud Gullies. Phivolcs noted that Mayon's current activity mirrors the 2023 eruption, which lasted about 6 months (April–September), though an explosive eruption remains possible. Alert Level 3 is in effect; entry into the 6-km PDZ is strictly prohibited. | via Jonathan Magistrado, ABS-CBN News (📹: Phivolcs) | ABS-

Time-lapse of a Phreatomagmatic Eruption at Taal Volcano, Philippines 🇵🇭 (Nov 11, 2025) Captured at the main crater, this minor phreatomagmatic eruption shows the explosive interaction of magma and groundwater, sending steam and ash into the air. The Alert Level remains at 1, but continuous monitoring is underway. 🎥 Credit: PHIVOLCS | Geology Page

Dramatic video shows bolts of lightning as a volcano spews ash up to nine miles into the air in the Philippines. The country has raised the alert level, meaning an "explosive eruption" could happen in the coming hours or days: cnn.it/35OKfBK | CNN

The eruption surged high into the sky 🌋🔥 A towering column of ash and gas rose rapidly upward, while superheated rock illuminated the clouds with an intense internal glow. The shockwave shaped the plume into rolling, turbulent layers, and the landscape below lay in the shadow of an immense release of energy. This is a major volcanic explosive eruption, where pressure from trapped gases inside rising magma is suddenly released. The blast sends ash, steam, and rock fragments high into the atmosp

Sakurajima Erupts—With Volcanic Lightning! ⚡🌋 A small explosive eruption at Sakurajima, Japan, just sent ash and gas soaring into the sky! This active stratovolcano, part of the Ring of Fire, frequently produces volcanic lightning, a rare phenomenon caused by static charges in the ash cloud. Watch closely—can you spot the lightning strike? #Sakurajima #VolcanicLightning #Eruption #japan #Geology #GeologyPage | Geology Page
