Mount Mayon volcano alert raised after ash and lava spills out
By Eric Cheung, CNN
Updated 1516 GMT (2316 HKT) January 22, 2018
(CNN) — More than 27,000 people have been evacuated in the Philippines as the country warned a hazardous volcanic eruption might be imminent.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) on Monday raised its alert level to four from three last week for the Mayon Volcano -- the country's most active volcano -- after it exhibited increasing seismic unrest, lava fountaining and summit explosions.
A huge column of ash shoots up to the sky during the eruption of Mayon volcano Monday, Jan. 22, 2018 as seen from Legazpi city, Albay province, around 340 kilometers (200 miles) southeast of Manila, Philippines.
Photographs showed the volcano, located in Albay province in southeastern Luzon, shooting a huge column of ash into the sky. Lava has been seen flowing down from the crater since last week.
