The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology reported that Mayon Volcano has continued to exhibit effusive eruptions, reaching its 90th day under Alert Level 3 this Saturday.
The eruptions were said to have generated lava flows along the volcano’s three gullies and a short instance of lava fountaining.
Aside from the eruptions, 52 volcanic earthquakes were also recorded at the volcano, with one volcanic tremor lasting for five minutes.
PHIVOLCS further detailed that 356 rockfalls and 1,662 tonnes of sulfur dioxide flux were observed at Mayon throughout its 24-hour observation last Friday.
As part of the agency’s precautionary measures, entry into the volcano’s six-kilometer permanent danger zone remains strictly prohibited as the possibility of moderate-sized explosions persists in Mayon’s current state.
