Timelapse footage shows Kanlaon Volcano's explosive eruption, spewing a massive plume of ash, smoke and gas into the sky in the Philippines today, December 9.

The ash cascaded down the slopes, covering almost the entire volcano in Negros Island.

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) raised the alert level to 3 after an explosive eruption today, December 9.

It said: 'The eruption produced a voluminous plume that rapidly rose 3,000 meters above the vent and drifted west-southwest. Pyroclastic density currents descended the slopes on the general southeastern edifice based on IP (internet protocol) and thermal camera monitors.'

Kanlaon is one of the 24 active volcanoes in the Philippines.

The Philippines is an archipelago of more than 7,000 islands inside the Pacific 'Ring of Fire' where the majority of Earth's volcano eruptions and earthquakes happen.
