Mayon Volcano
For Miss Philippines Catriona Gray who was crowned Miss Universe 2018. It is the fourth time a Miss Philippines has won the competition. Her runway "lava walk" impressed everyone. Her Filipina mother is from Albay, Bicol home to the famous Mount Mayon. www.eonline.com/news/997150/5-things-to-know-about-miss-u...
Mayon is the most active volcano in the Philippines, erupting over 47 times in the past 500 years.[9] The first eruption for which an extended account exists was the six-day event of July 20, 1766.
The most destructive eruption of Mayon occurred on February 1, 1814 (VEI=4).[11] Lava flowed but less than the 1766 eruption. The volcano belched dark ash and eventually bombarded the town of Cagsawa with tephra that buried it. Trees burned, and rivers were certainly damaged. Proximate areas were also devastated by the eruption, with ash accumulating to 9 m (30 ft) in depth. In Cagsawa, 1,200 locals perished in what is considered to be the most lethal eruption in Mayon's history according to PHIVOLCS. The eruption is believed to have contributed to the accumulation of atmospheric ash together with the catastrophic 1815 eruption of other volcanoes like Indonesia's Mount Tambora, leading to the Year Without a Summer in 1816.
