Footage captures dramatic eruptions of Philippines’ Taal Volcano

From NPR.

Steam and ash clouds rose above the Philippines’ Taal Volcano on Sunday.

The volcano sits just 30 miles south of Manila. Officials reported three minor eruptions that sent ash plumes nearly 1.5 miles into the sky.

Taal is one of the Philippines’ most active volcanoes, and last erupted significantly in 2020, forcing tens of thousands to flee. The volcano has been under an Alert Level 1 since 2022, marking the volcanic island as a permanent danger zone.
