Mount Bulusan, which has shown signs of activity since March 2006, has spewed ash, covering areas as far as three miles away.

“We are keeping an eye on some villages in Juban and Irosin town. An ash explosion can occur there anytime,” said Bella Tubianosa from the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology.

Scientists say that a major eruption is not imminent. However, a 2.5 mile “permanent danger zone” has been established around the volcano.

A history of Mount Bulusan’s activity is available at the Global Volcanism Program. The photo above is of an ash eruption that occurred in June 2006.
