Philippine Mayon Volcano

January 30, 2018

Albay, Philippines- Filipino motorists are seen at the foot of the rumbling Mayon Volcano in the town of Camalig, Albay province, Philippines, 29 January 2018.

The Mayon Volcano is located in eastern Philippines and has been active over the last two weeks, spewing fresh lava and ash while the number of evacuees exceeded 80,000 in the face of the threat of an even more potent explosion.

The Philippines, which currently has 23 active volcanoes, is situated on the so-called 'Pacific Ring of Fire,' an area known for its intense seismic activity which extends from the west coast of the American continent to New Zealand, Japan, the Philippines and Indonesia. Jiji Press
