Kanlaon Volcano in the Philippines shows ongoing degassing and ash emissions

Kanlaon Volcano in the Philippines is actively degassing and occasionally releasing ash, according to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology. A recent observation noted an 800-meter ash plume and the emission of 2,125 tonnes of sulfur dioxide. Since October 19, the volcano has shown signs of unrest, including seven recorded volcanic earthquakes. The ash samples analyzed from recent emissions indicate they are primarily from old rock, not new magma. Alert Level 2 remains in effect due to increased volcanic activity following an explosive eruption on June 3. Access to a 4-kilometer danger zone around the volcano is restricted.
