3 phreatic eruptions recorded in Taal
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) recorded three phreatic eruptions in Taal Volcano on Friday.
According to state volcanologists, the phreatic eruptions lasted between two and eight minutes.
Taal Volcano emitted 3,176 of sulfur dioxide on 25 September, meanwhile, upwelling of hot volcanic fluids were observed in its Main Crater Lake.
A long-term deflation of the Taal Caldera and short-term inflation of the general northern and southeastern flanks of Taal Volcano Island were also noted.
The volcano produced a 2,100-meter plume with voluminous emissions that drifted northeast.
Phivolcs observed no harmful volcanic smog, or “vog,” over the volcano since Wednesday, 25 September.

However, sudden explosions, volcanic earthquakes, minor ashfall, and lethal accumulations or expulsions of volcanic gas may pose serious health and safety risks.
Meanwhile, entry into the Taal Volcano Island, particularly in the main crater and Daang Kastila fissures, remains strictly prohibited. The island has been identified as a permanent danger zone.
Aircraft that fly close to the volcano, according to Phivolcs, are at risk of coming into contact with airborne ash and ballistic fragments.
Taal Volcano is currently under alert level 1, indicating a low level of unrest.
