Ash emission observed from Kanlaon Volcano crater, says PHIVOLCS

Ash emission from the summit crater of Kanlaon Volcano was observed Friday afternoon, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) reported.

The emission occurred at 4:01 p.m., PHIVOLCS said.

"This event generated grayish plumes that rose 200 meters above the crater before drifting southwest, as captured by the IP camera at the Kanlaon Volcano Observatory-Canlaon City (KVO-CC)," the agency added.

On Friday, six volcanic earthquakes were recorded, including one volcanic tremor that lasted for six minutes.

A 300-meter plume that moved southwestward was also recorded as well as ground formation.

PHIVOLCS said Alert Level 2 remains in effect over Kanlaon Volcano. — BAP, GMA News
