Is Taal Volcano phreatic steam-plume activity happening right now?
As of today, out of season. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
Taal Volcano frequently produces steam-rich, phreatic or phreatomagmatic plumes from the Main Crater on Volcano Island in Taal Lake.
These steam-driven events can be short-lived (minutes) or sustained (hours), and they are monitored closely by PHIVOLCS because they can precede or accompany stronger eruptive behavior.
