Kanlaon Volcano emits ash on Sunday
MANILA, Philippines — Kanlaon Volcano emitted ash on Sunday morning following a moderately explosive eruption the previous day, according to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs).
Based on Phivolcs’ footage, the ash emission occurred at 5:15 a.m.
“The event generated a grayish plume that rose 600 meters above the summit crater before drifting generally west, as visually recorded by the Mansalanao Observation Station (VKMN), Upper Pantao Observation Station (VKUP), and Canlaon City Observation Station (KVO-CC) IP cameras,” Phivolcs said in a Facebook post.

Phivolcs’ 24-hour monitoring recorded one moderately explosive eruption, one ash emission lasting two hours and 41 minutes, and 10 volcanic earthquakes. Sulfur dioxide emissions reached 5,132 tons on Saturday, up from 2,356 tons on Friday.
As the volcano remains under Alert Level 2, which signifies increased unrest, Phivolcs continues to prohibit entry into the 4-kilometer radius permanent danger zone and aircraft flights close to the volcano.
