THREAD: After a few hours of minor phreatic and then phreatomagmatic explosions, #Taal volcano on the Philippine island of Luzon has entered into a major explosive eruption. Taal has been quiescent since a small phreatic eruption in October 1977.
#Taal, one of the most active and notorious volcanoes of the Philippines, lies on an island in a large caldera lake (Lake Taal, formerly also referred to as Lake Bombon), about 50 km south of the Philippine capital, Manila. It is often called "the lowest volcano on Earth" ...
... because it is only about 300 m high, which is indeed a rather modest height considering #Taals frequent and mostly violent eruptions. Taal island has multiple vents: a large central crater (Main Crater), which is filled with a lake (and had, until now, a small island inside)
