Mayon Volcano, Albay, Philippines Ask anyone to draw a volcano, and they’ll quite likely sketch something which closely resembles the Mayon Volcano in the Philippines. For a volcano, as far as its shape goes, it is probably one of the best formed and most symmetrical of volcanoes anywhere in the world. Its classic conical configuration is so perfect it’s a geometer’s dream. It’s also well-practiced at erupting and has been doing it on a regular basis over the past decade. It’s the Philippines most active volcano and has recently splurged lava fountains from its peak to heights of five hundred meters. Why Go? The Mayon Volcano’s perfect shape is unique, but considering the amount of volcanic activity it undergoes, that could change any time. Nothing stays the same forever and one big blast too many could damage its stunning profile leaving it less than geometrically perfect. When To Go? The best time to go and see the Mayon Volcano is when it’s not erupting because when it does, it means business. Homes get evacuated, and lava and mudflows can cause widespread devastation. That said, you can still admire it from a reasonable distance. Though it’s advisable to check the current state of the volcano before planning a trip. You can do that on the website of the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology. If all is calm, visit the Philippines from May to November and you’ll miss the rainy season though if you’re there in September or October be prepared for the occasional typhoon. To see Mayon at its best, you’ll need to make an early start. Go at dawn or just after as by mid-morning the peak is frequently hidden from view by cloud coverage Last Eruption: 2018 Height: 2,463meters; 8,081ft Map Location: Mayon Volcano, Philippines #info #EverythingsInfo
