Mayon, East of Manila

From the 'ongoing awe at the natural world' folder:

Mount Mayon in the Phillipines could undergo a 'major eruption' in conjunction with the full moon today, scientists conjecture. Bad news if you're nearby, I thought... read on, read on...

'The volcano has been spewing lava and flaming rocks the size of cars in a quiet but steady eruption since last month.'

QUIET BUT STEADY! 'Flaming rocks the size of cars'!!! I am actually speechless. What on earth constitutes 'a major eruption' to a vulcanologist?


Probably this.
