A moderately explosive eruption at the summit crater of Kanlaon Volcano occurs at 4:39 p.m. on Feb. 19, 2026. The eruption lasted two minutes based on the seismic record. This event generated a dark gray eruption plume that rose 2,000 meters above the crater before drifting southwest. Pyroclastic density currents or PDCs descended the southern and southwestern upper slopes within 1 kilometer of the summit crater as recorded by the IP cameras of the Kanlaon Volcano Network. Alert Level 2 is maintained over Kanlaon Volcano and entry into the 4 kilometer Permanent Danger Zone must be strictly prohibited.
