MANILA, Philippines — Mayon Volcano recorded its largest pyroclastic density current (PDC) since June 8 on Thursday night, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said on Friday. Acc... CDNDigital
According to Phivolcs in its latest advisory, the PDC occurred at 11:18 p.m. on Thursday and is the largest seen since June 8.
“In the past 24-hour period, very slow effusion of lava from the summit crater of Mayon Volcano continued to feed lava flows and collapse debris on the Mi-isi and Bonga gullies,” said Phivolcs. Apart from these, Phivolcs also recorded steam-laden plumes that rose 750 meters, as well as an average sulfur dioxide emission of 826 tonnes.
Currently, Alert Level 3 remains, which means “it is currently in a relatively high level of unrest as magma is at the crater and hazardous eruption within weeks or even days is possible.”
