Mayon Volcano, Active stratovolcano in Albay Province, Philippines.
The volcano reaches a height of 2,462 meters above sea level, featuring a symmetric conical form rising from the shores of Albay Gulf.
The 1814 eruption remains the most catastrophic event in the volcano's recorded history, burying the entire town of Cagsawa and causing 1,200 deaths.
Local communities celebrate festivals throughout the year, incorporating traditional performances and rituals that honor the mountain's presence in their lives.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology maintains monitoring stations around the volcano to track seismic activity and provide early warning signals.
The mountain's perfectly symmetrical cone shape resulted from layers of volcanic materials accumulating through centuries of regular eruption cycles.
