Gbex says: Do you know that thirty three eruptions have been recorded since 1572 at Taal, mostly on Volcano Island?

The impacts of these eruptions were largely confined to the intracaldera area. Occasional violent activity such as the 1754 plinian eruption, affected the entire region, including what is now the Metro Manila area with fallout.

Some activity, such as the 1749 eruption, were accompanied by crustal disturbance and strong earthquakes, which generated ground fissures and pronounced subsidence that extended across Taal lake.

Taal Volcano is located about 60 km SSE of Metro Manila, the capital of the Philippines. It is a complex volcanic system composed of a small volcanic island which has been the site of almost all historic activity, located within a 20x30 km lake-filled complex caldera.
