Look: Stunning night view of Mayon Volcano’s crater captured at approximately 7:00 PM tonight, June 9, 2023. The summit lava dome is adorned with a radiant glow, known as “banaag.” Throughout the day, the Mayon Volcano Network has detected 28 smaller rockfall events and zero volcanic earthquakes since 5:00 AM.
MANILA, June 8, 2023 (AFP) – Philippine scientists said that a “hazardous eruption” of a volcano in the archipelago could be days or weeks away, and urged the evacuation of nearby residents from their homes. Hundreds of families living around Mount Mayon in central Albay province are expected to be moved to safer areas after the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology raised the alarm. Mayon, a near-perfect cone located about 330 kilometres (205 miles) […]
Soil from from Mt. Mayon volcano has been found to host bacteria that has potential antibiotic and anticancer properties, according to researchers from the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB). The researchers identified a specific bacterial species from the soils of Mt. Mayon that has shown potential antibiotic and anti-colorectal cancer activities. “This specific bacterial isolate identified as Streptomyces sp. A1-08 has shown antibiotic activity against numerous potentially pathogenic microorganisms and anti-colorectal […]
(Eagle News) — The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology has downgraded Mayon’s alert status to “normal” following a “continued decline in all monitoring parameters.” PHIVOLCS said, for instance, the frequency of volcanic earthquakes has declined to baseline levels (0-5 events/day) for the last six months. Data from Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and campaign Electronic Distance Measurement (EDM) and Precise Leveling (PL) also showed a “slight and decreasing rate of inflation of the Mayon edifice […]
