Effusive eruption at the Mayon Volcano persists on its 115th consecutive day, producing incandescent lava flows and collapse-fed pyroclastic density currents (PDCs), the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) said.

On Thursday, April 30, PHIVOLCS shared a close-up footage of the lava effusion, PDCs, and short-lived lava fountaining between 2:15 and 2:17. Meanwhile, a Strombolian activity was also recorded at the summit crater of Mayon Volcano at 9:01 AM, captured by the Mayon Volcano Observatory.

“These events generated ash plumes that rose approximately 100 meters above the crater before drifting westward,” the PHIVOLCS said.

Now on its 115th consecutive day, the effusive eruption at the volcano continues to produce PDCs, locally known as “uson” and frequent rockfalls.

Alert Level 3 remains in effect over the volcano, and entry into the six-kilometer Permanent Danger Zone is strictly prohibited.
