[Philippines] Taal Volcano: an active volcano in the lake that can only be appreciated by boating

Tar Volcano - a volcano among volcanoes Tagaytay is a popular tourist destination in the Philippines (I would say even Filipinos would choose this place for a weekend getaway😮) The most famous thing in Tagaytay is to see the beautiful views of Taal Volcano Taal is the shortest active volcano in the world🌋 It’s also the only active volcano in the world in the middle of a lake (it seems). I guess a volcanic lake slowly formed long ago after the big volcano burst Then it exploded again in the middle, forming the "little volcanic island" (?) in the middle 🤯 (Geography experts please advise 🙇🏻♀️🙏🏼) I googled the photos, people used to climb the island of Taal volcano, and there is another volcanic lake in the middle😮 When I was doing research, I felt a little surprised just imagining it😂😮 But it is always an active volcano🌋, and in recent years there are signs that it will explode at any time😱 There was a strong explosion in 2020. In addition to nearby residents who had to evacuate, schools and work were suspended, even takeoff and landing flights were all suspended😳😳😳 Then to last year, even April-May this year there were still some steam eruptions detected 😱😰😰 The local government has declared it a permanent danger zone. It is now strictly prohibited to go to the island. Recently, you can only go boating on the lake🚣 Although dangerous, Taal volcano is only the second active volcano in the Philippines😳🤯 Another fun fact is.. one day when I was counting how much cash was left, I discovered that the 50 peso note had Taal printed on it😮😮😮 #philippines #philippines #taalvolcano #volcano #volcaniclandscapes #tagaytay #taalvolcano
