Mayon Volcano is a classic stratovolcano located in the Philippines, characterized by a highly symmetrical profile that geographers often cite as the most perfect in the world. This symmetry is maintained by frequent eruptions that deposit layers of ash and lava evenly on all sides. Located within the Bicol Region, it is a key feature of the “Ring of Fire.” Due to its steep slopes and height of 2,462 meters, it is prone to dangerous lahars and pyroclastic flows. Its regular activity makes it one of the most closely monitored volcanoes in Southeast Asia, balancing scenic beauty with high geological risk.
