Mayon volcano (Luzon Island, Philippines) activity update: continuing unrest

Fri, 5 Feb 2021, 09:06

09:06 AM | BY: T

Unrest continues at the volcano. During the past 24 hours, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) recorded a total of three (3) rockfall events most likely caused by volcanic quakes and ongoing ground deformation along the slopes of the volcano.
The slopes "inflate" due to rising of the molten magma underneath. This may also cause additional effects such as an increased release of SO2 and steam plumes.
Mayon remains at Alert Level 1, "which means that it is at an abnormal condition. Although this means that presently no magmatic eruption is imminent, it is strongly advised that the public refrain from entering the 6-kilometer radius Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ) due to the perennial life-threatening dangers of rockfalls, landslides/avalanches at the middle to upper slope, sudden ash puffs and steam-driven or phreatic eruptions from the summit."

Mayon Volcano’s seismic monitoring network recorded 3 rockfall related events over the past 24-hours. Steam plume emissions drifted west and west-northwest. Faint crater glow from the summit could be observed at night. Sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions was measured at an average of 176 tonnes/day on 17 April 2020. Inflation of the middle to upper portions of the volcanic edifice that began in the last quarter of 2019 continues. ... read all
