A new 24/7 live stream showing Mayon volcano in 4K resolution went online on December 8, 2025, from Legazpi in Albay Province, Philippines. The camera is positioned about 14 km (9 miles) south-southeast of the volcano and provides a continuous view of the summit area.
Mayon Volcano is a 2 462 m (8 077 feet) stratovolcano located in Albay on Luzon Island, Philippines. It is one of the country’s most active volcanoes, known for frequent eruptive periods and a near-symmetrical cone.
The live stream, produced by AfarTV, is looking north toward Mayon. To the east of the camera location is the Gulf of Albay. Streaming in 4K resolution allows near real-time viewing of potential ash emissions, nighttime incandescence, and changes in volcanic gas emissions.
Mayon has a documented eruptive history spanning more than 400 years, with over 50 eruptions recorded. Its most destructive event occurred in 1814, when pyroclastic flows buried several towns.
Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) maintains ongoing monitoring of Mayon, including seismicity, deformation, gas emissions, and visual observations. Daily volcanic activity reports for Mayon are available through PHIVOLCS.
AfarTV plans continued coverage of Mayon’s activity, with features including community chat, subscriber support options, and archived stream observations.
