Caught on Camera: Lava Collapse Generates Pyroclastic Density Current - Mayon Volcano (Feb 27, 2026)

Описание: 4K live view of Mayon Volcano, one of the world’s most active and iconic stratovolcanoes, currently exhibiting heightened volcanic activity.

This 24/7 ultra-high-definition (4K) livestream provides a continuous real-time view of Mayon’s summit and upper slopes during an active phase marked by lava dome growth, frequent rockfalls, and occasional pyroclastic density currents (PDCs).

On January 6, 2026, the DOST-PHIVOLCS raised Mayon’s status to Alert Level 3, indicating an increased tendency toward a hazardous eruption. Monitoring data confirm ongoing effusive magmatic eruption, with slow but accelerating extrusion of degassed magma at the summit dome. Dome instability has led to hundreds of rockfall events, some displaying nighttime incandescence, and PDCs affecting gullies on the volcano’s southeastern flank.

This livestream is intended for public awareness, education, and scientific interest. It allows viewers to observe real-time changes in volcanic behavior, including dome collapse events, glowing rockfalls at night, ash emissions, and evolving weather conditions around the volcano.

⚠️ Safety Notice
A 6-km Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ) remains in effect. Entry into this zone is strongly discouraged due to the risk of rockfalls, lava flows, PDCs (uson), ashfall, and other volcanic hazards. Aviation authorities advise pilots to avoid airspace near the summit.

All interpretations of activity should rely on official advisories from PHIVOLCS and local authorities. More info: https://www.phivolcs.dost.gov.ph/
