Kanlaon Volcano ash emissions continue —PHIVOLCS

Ash emissions continued at Kanlaon Volcano, with two events lasting from 39 to 66 minutes long recorded Monday night, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) said.

Time-lapse footage of ash emissions from the volcano summit crater was observed from 9:36 p.m. to 10:42 p.m., which generated grayish plumes that rose 200 meters above the crater before drifting west.

A total of 15 volcanic earthquakes including 4 volcanic tremors lasting 10 to 68 minutes long were also logged.

PHIVOLCS measured the sulfur dioxide flux at 3,341 tonnes a day on January 13, 2025.

Plume reached 75 meters tall, while continuous degassing with occasional ash emission drifted west of the volcano.

Alert Level 3 (intensified unrest/magmatic unrest) prevails over Kanlaon Volcano which means that sudden explosive eruption, lava flow, ashfall, rockfall, lahar during heavy rains and pyroclastic density current can occur.
