Kanlaon Volcano ERUPTS Again – Explosive Ash Plume Over Negros (Mar 15, 2026)

Kanlaon Volcano on Negros Island in the Philippines produced a moderately explosive eruption at approximately 6:07 PM local time on March 15, 2026, according to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS). The eruption generated a tall ash column rising around 2 km above the crater and drifting toward the southwest. This event marks the third moderately explosive eruption at Kanlaon in 2026, following similar eruptions on February 19 and February 26. Reports from monitoring agencies indicated ashfall and volcanic haze affecting some communities in Negros Occidental, prompting authorities to continue monitoring ash dispersion and possible impacts. PHIVOLCS continues to maintain Alert Level 2, indicating moderate unrest and the possibility of further sudden explosive eruptions. Entry into the 4-kilometer Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ) around the volcano remains strictly prohibited due to the risk of ashfall, ballistic fragments, and other volcanic hazards. Kanlaon is the most active volcano in the Visayas, rising 2,465 m above sea level on Negros Island and producing frequent small-to-moderate explosive eruptions throughout its recorded history. This video captures the explosive eruption and ash plume as it rises above the summit crater during the evening event.
