The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) is monitoring closely the Kanlaon Volcano in Negros Island due to its continuous and elevated sulfur dioxide emission.

The Kanlaon Volcano in Negros Island on Wednesday emitted ash, resulting in plumes as high as 500 meters above the crater, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said.

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) reported that the summit crater of the Kanlaon Volcano in Negros Occidental emitted ash anew on Tuesday afternoon. Phivolcs said that the ash emission occurred from 3:49 to 4:27 p.

After two consecutive ash emission events on Monday, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said it is monitoring Kanlaon Volcano for a 'possible major eruption.'

The Kanlaon Volcano in Negros Island released over 6,000 tons of sulfur dioxide flux as of December 3, 2024, said PHIVOLCS in a 12 a.m. advisory on December 4, 2024. Kanlaon emitted 6,432 tons of sulfur dioxide flux, based on monitoring records.
