Mayon Volcano, standing 150 miles south of Manila, Philippines, and looms above the bustling city of Legazpi, is the only volcano that boasts an almost perfect cone shape. Its unique features and natural beauty are what makes it easily remembered and recognized around the globe. Second to none is its grandiose and panoramic image. Nothing compares with this majestic volcano.
Contradicting its natural peaceful figure, Mayon Volcano is one of the most active volcanoes dotting the Philippine Islands. It is part of the country's long chain of volcanoes called the "Ring of Fire", which surrounds the Pacific Ocean from South America to Alaska, across Russia and down through Indonesia and Japan.
The worst eruption ever recorded occured in February 1, 1817, which killed 1, 200 people and buried almost the entire nearby towns.
Today, Mayon Volcano maintains its majestic stature but with a threat that nobody can ever forsee.
