On December 9, PHIVOLCS raised the alert level of Kanlaon from level 2 to level 3 after an explosive eruption occurred at the summit vent at 3:03 p.m. The eruption produced a large plume that rose 4,000 m (13,000 ft) above the vent and drifted west-southwest, with pyroclastic flow moving down the south-southeastern side of the volcano.
Eruptions were recorded from 1886 to 2006. On November 23, 2015 the volcano had a small, steam-driven explosion. PHIVOLCS raised the alert level to 1 (mild restiveness). Last eruption was on December 9, 2024 which PHIVOLCS classified as phreatic eruption. Kanlaon ejected about 3 kilometers high column of pyroclastic ash and incandescent materials.
Over 7,000 years ago, Mount Mazama erupted, causing its original edifice to be turned into a caldera instead. Mount Scott (Klamath County, Oregon) Hillman Peak. Hillman Peak's west half collapsed in the Mount Mazama eruption over 7,000 years ago. Sentinel Rock; Danger Bay; Dutton Cliff; Phantom Ship; Mount McLoughlin; Rattlesnake Creek
Mt. Kanlaon eruption: 1886 to 2024: The most active volcano in the Visayas, Kanlaon has erupted 26 times since 1919. Eruptions are typically phreatic explosions of small-to-moderate size that produce minor ash falls near the volcano. In 1902, the eruption was classified as strombolian, typified by the ejection of incandescent cinder, lapilli ...

The only recorded eruption of Mount Lamington devastated Oro Province. Pyroclastic flows caused extreme destruction north of the volcano. Its effects were extensively studied by volcanologist Tony Taylor and his report was published in 1958.

Known large eruptions after the Paleogene period (from 66 Mya to 23 Mya) are listed, especially those relating to the Yellowstone hotspot, Santorini caldera, and the Taupō Volcanic Zone. Active volcanoes such as Stromboli, Mount Etna and Kīlauea do not appear on this list, but some back-arc basin volcanoes that generated calderas do appear ...
