Crater Glow spotted at Mt. Mayon

Aside from last year's eruption at Mt. Taal, another active volcano from the Pacific Ring of Fire is now being monitored in the province of Albay, Philippines. It's been 3 years (**January 22, 2018**) after its last eruption, as the **Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology** (**PHILVOLCS**) observes a faint crater glow. This indicates that the magma beneath the volcano is moving up towards the crater that could lead to a possible eruption. https://read.cash/@rapsantos/the-eruption-of-taal-volcano-a-year-later-587b9bfc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_of_Fire

Previously, it was on Alert Level 2. Now, the Alert Status was changed to Level 1 as authorities advised the public not to enter within the 6 to 7 kilometer-radius around the volcano, and they could not tell if it would spew ashfall again, explosions, and lava collapse.

Bicolanos named it after their departed heroine. For this one, I'll create an article about this very soon. **Sources**: Lead Image from https://primer.com.ph/travel/2016/03/02/mayon-volcano/ https://www.rappler.com/nation/mount-mayon-exhibits-crater-glow-january-20-2021 https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/scitech/science/724964/phivolcs-spots-crater-glow-at-mayon-volcano/story/ https://www.thestar.com.my/news/regional/2020/02/05/philippine-institute-detects-crater-glow-from-mayon-volcano
