Volcanic plumes measuring 400 to 900 meters tall were also detected by thermal cameras around the Taal Lake, according to Phivolcs.

The highest so far was last Jan. 27 with 18,705 tonnes."Taal Volcano Island has been deflating since October 2021, based on continuous GPS monitoring," Phivolcs said.
