Mayon Simmers : Big Pics
-
This Dec. 15 satellite image shows the volcano Mayon in the upper left and the town of Legazpi to the lower right. It doesn't take a volcanologist to see that there has been good reason to worry about the people living near the currently slowly erupting volcano. If the eruption becomes explosive, tens of thousands could be in danger. The past time Mayon really let loose, in 1814, it killed about 1,500 people.
