WATCH: Lava fountaining on Day 99 of Mayon Volcano’s effusive eruption

State volcanologists on Tuesday night observed short-lived lava fountaining anew at the summit crater of Mayon Volcano, which continued its effusive eruption for the 99th consecutive day.

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) shared camera footage of the lava fountaining recorded at 9:13 p.m. of April 14 on its social media accounts.

The close-up footage was captured by the Mayon Volcano Observatory’s Raspberry Pi camera.

Mayon Volcano’s effusive eruption entered its 99th consecutive day, marked by incandescent lava flows, pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) or “uson,” and frequent rockfalls.

The night before, PHIVOLCS also logged an episode of short-lived lava fountaining at the volcano’s summit crater, as well as minor strombolian activity and a grass fire.

PHIVOLCS reminded the public that Alert Level 3 is still in effect over Mayon Volcano and that entry into its six-kilometer permanent danger zone (PDZ) is prohibited. — JMA, GMA News
