The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said that the crater glow seen at Mayon volcano could be a precursor of eruptive activity.
“Mayon’s crater could have glowed in the last 2 days because magma or a charge of molten rocks rose towards its crater,” Phivolcs Director Renato Solidum said in an interview.
Solidum added that magma usually solidifies but it will glow if there’s an eruptive activity.
“Mayroon iyan pamumula ng bulkan o crater glow at minsan iyong crater niya, may pag-umbok na mapapansin bago magsimula ng panibagong eruptive activity,” Solidum told ABS-CBN News.
“Inoobserbahan natin kung talagang mayroong bagong aktibidad ang volcano,” he added.
