Mayon Volcano’s 40-DAY Eruption CONTINUES — 80,000 EVACUATED as SO₂ Hits 15-YEAR HIGH at 5,503 Tons!
Mayon Volcano, one of the world’s most active and iconic stratovolcanoes, currently exhibiting heightened volcanic activity.
On January 6, 2026, the DOST-PHIVOLCS raised Mayon’s status to Alert Level 3, indicating an increased tendency toward a hazardous eruption. Monitoring data confirm ongoing effusive magmatic eruption, with slow but accelerating extrusion of degassed magma at the summit dome. Dome instability has led to hundreds of rockfall events, some displaying nighttime incandescence, and PDCs affecting gullies on the volcano’s southeastern flank.
