May 5, 2024: Forest Fire on the Slopes of the Mayon Volcano, Indonesia

This wildfire is happening now on our live cam! • 🌎 LIVE in 4K: The Worl...
For the first time ever, people around the world now have a chance to view the famous Mayon Volcano live 24/7 in 4K!
Referred to as the most impeccably shaped volcanic cone globally due to its symmetrical form, it boasts a base with a circumference of 80 miles (130 km) and ascends to an elevation of 8,077 feet (2,462 meters).
Symmetrical Mayon, which rises above the Albay Gulf NW of Legazpi City, is the most active volcano of the Philippines. The steep upper slopes are capped by a small summit crater. Recorded eruptions since 1616 CE range from Strombolian to basaltic Plinian, with cyclical activity beginning with basaltic eruptions, followed by longer term andesitic lava flows. Eruptions occur predominately from the central conduit and have also produced lava flows that travel far down the flanks. Pyroclastic flows and mudflows have commonly swept down many of the approximately 40 ravines that radiate from the summit and have often damaged populated lowland areas. A violent eruption in 1814 killed more than 1,200 people and devastated several towns.
This view is looking north towards Mayon. The camera is approximately 14km south (SSE) of the volcano in the city of Legazpi. To the east is the gulf of Abay.
