The Kanlaon volcano in the Philippines erupted on December 9, spewing a massive ash column 3,000 meters high. Located on Negros Island, the volcano emitted red-hot ashes and debris, prompting the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology to call for evacuations within a 6-kilometer radius. Officials warned of a potential escalation in eruptions as magmatic activity intensifies. Videos on social media captured the dramatic cauliflower-shaped ash plume. Kanlaon is among the Philippines' 24 active volcanoes and has shown heightened activity, with an earlier gas release in September displacing hundreds of residents. Authorities remain on high alert.
