Taal Volcano (IPA:; Tagalog: Bulkang Taal) is a large caldera filled by Taal Lake in the Philippines. [1] Located in the province of Batangas about 50 kilometers (31 mi) south of Manila, the volcano is the second most active volcano in the country with 38 recorded historical eruptions, all of which were concentrated on Volcano Island, near the middle of Taal Lake.

Taal Lake (Tagalog: Lawa ng Taal, IPA:), formerly known as Bombón Lake, [2] [3] is a fresh water caldera lake in the province of Batangas, on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. The lake fills Taal Volcano , a large volcanic caldera formed by very large eruptions between 500,000 and 100,000 years ago.
Based on studies on Taal, it is believed that an ancient Taal Cone was formed by buildup of large volume dacitic pyroclastic materials more than 140,000 years ago. Several major catastrophic eruptions probably between 27,000 and 5,000 years ago destroyed this greater Taal Cone and ultimately formed the 25-by-30-kilometre (16 mi × 19 mi) wide depression now known as Taal Caldera.
The Philippines' Taal Volcano near the capital region has erupted, spewing a plume of steam that was more than 2 km (1.24 miles) high, the seismology agency said on Wednesday. Taal, located about ...
A day after rumbling to life, the Taal Volcano in the central Philippines began to spew lava on Monday -- and officials warn that eruptions could last months or even years. The volcano is located ...
The corridor is home to several active volcanoes, including Taal Volcano, one of the most active volcanoes in the Philippines. [2] The tectonic setting of the Macolod Corridor is complex and not fully understood. Several models have been proposed to explain its formation, but no single model is universally accepted.
The state volcanology and seismology institute said it observed upwelling of hot volcanic fluids in the Taal volcano's crater lake, resulting in the emission of volcanic gases. ... the most active ...
