The ongoing unrest of Mayon Volcano may lead to lava flows and lava fountaining in the coming days, according to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS).
The country’s most active volcano was raised to Alert Level 3 from Alert Level 2 on Tuesday after the observation of a magmatic eruption of a summit lava dome.
PHIVOLCS said that this activity brings a heightened chance of lava flows and hazardous pyroclastic density currents (PDCs), which are fast-moving, superheated avalanches of volcanic gas, ash, and debris.
