The Crater Lake temperature reached 77.1°C and 1.59 pH value of acidification on 12 February.
Fumarolic activity accompanied by emissions of water vapor and gases continue from the vent that rose to 5 m above the crater.
Ground deformation parameters from continuous electronic tilt at the volcano recorded a slight deflation around the summit crater since October last year. Very slow and steady inflation of the Taal region has been recorded by continuous GPS data after the eruption.

Volcano Tours on Hawai'i: The Hawaiian Islands are not only home to the most active volcanoes in the world, Kilauea and Mauna Loa on the Big Island, but also boast a unique natural environment. Born by volcanic activity of a very active hot spot in the middle of the Pacific Plate, they are a showcase of natural history.
Sakurajima volcano photos: One of the world's most active volcanoes, Sakurajima on Japan's Kyushu Island is famous for its frequent vulcanian explosions, often accompanied by eruption lightning.
