LOOK: Time-lapse footage of lava effusion and collapse from the Mayon Volcano summit crater recorded at 12:20 AM today, 03 March 2026. Effusive eruption at Mayon Volcano continues for the 57th consecutive day, generating incandescent lava flows, pyroclastic density currents (PDC) or “uson”, and rockfalls. Alert Level 3 prevails over Mayon and entry into the 6-km Permanent Danger Zone must be prohibited. #MayonVolcano | Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS-DOST)

The eruption surged high into the sky 🌋🔥 A towering column of ash and gas rose rapidly upward, while superheated rock illuminated the clouds with an intense internal glow. The shockwave shaped the plume into rolling, turbulent layers, and the landscape below lay in the shadow of an immense release of energy. This is a major volcanic explosive eruption, where pressure from trapped gases inside rising magma is suddenly released. The blast sends ash, steam, and rock fragments high into the atmosp

🌋 TOP 5 MOST VIOLENT EXPLOSIVE VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS EVER 🌋 In just seconds, mountains can erase cities, darken skies, and change the climate of the entire planet. These weren’t lava shows these were pressure-driven explosions so powerful the sky itself collapsed. 1️⃣ Mount Tambora (1815) The most powerful eruption in recorded history. Ash circled the globe, triggering the Year Without a Summer. 2️⃣ Mount Pinatubo (1991) A towering ash column collapsed repeatedly, unleashing deadly pyroclastic fl
