The institute later reported that the eruption ceased at 6:47 a.m. ET (6:47 p.m. Monday).

“When I saw the ashes, I felt nervous, but not as nervous as the eruptions used to be because this time we knew what to do.”

The third-level alert (over five sizes) remained the same during the December eruption.

“The earth is made of tectonic plates, and at the edge of the plate is where all activities occur, and this is where earthquakes occur, that is where earthquakes occur, that is where there are volcanoes and other things, so in general, all activities are with us living on the active planet under our feet, which is what you are moving every day, but essentially it is very slow to say, but, very slowly, and very slowly, both fitting,” said the “

Hundreds of nearby residents were evacuated in September after Kanlaon sparked thousands of tons of harmful gases in a day.

Where is Canlan Volcano in the Philippines?

The volcano is located in the central part of the Philippines, and the region is located in the “ring of fire” in the Pacific Ocean, where earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are prone to. The archipelago is also blasted by about 20 typhoons and storms each year, making it one of the most prone countries in the world to cause disasters.
