フィリピンの首都マニラ南方にあるタール(Taal)火山は12日に巨大な噴煙を上げて以降、現在も活発な活動を続けています。タール火山は今後数週間にわたり、溶岩や火山灰が噴出する恐れがあるとされ、大規模な噴火を恐れて自宅から避難した住民数万人が行き場を失っています。タール火山が最後に噴火したのは1977年ですが、その火山活動の歴史は長く、1965年の噴火では約200人が死亡しました。ちなみに、フィリピンで近年発生した最大規模の火山噴火は、1991年に発生したピナツボ山(Mount Pinatubo)の噴火です。ピナツボ山はマニラ北西約100kmにあり、この噴火で800人以上が死亡しました。

Taal Volcano is located only 60km from Manila, the Philippines’ capital. The volcano has been erupting for weeks and blasting steam, ash and debris into the sky. The volcano has had several violent eruptions in the past, causing loss of life on the island and the populated areas surrounding the lake, with the death toll estimated at about 6,000. The Philippine government has issued a dire warning about the potential of Taal Volcano to cause mass casualties, recalling the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo which killed 847 people.
