300-Meter Ash Plumes Rise From Kanlaon Volcano As Summit Crater Activity Continues

Sped-up camera footage captured ash emissions from the summit crater during two events at 03:32 a.m. and 5:35 a.m. on June 19, 2026.

The activity produced grayish ash plumes that rose about 300 meters above the crater before drifting southwest.

Observations were recorded using a thermal camera at the Lower Masulog observation station (VKLM) and an IP camera at the Kanlaon Volcano Observatory in Canlaon City (KVO-CC).

The volcano remains under Alert Level 2, indicating continued unrest at the summit area.

Monitoring continues as ash emissions persist from the crater.
