A large caldera filled by Taal Lake, and the second most active volcano in the country, with 39 confirmed historical eruptions. The eruptions centre on Volcano Island, near the middle of the lake. The caldera itself formed between about 670,000 and 6,000 years ago.
Past eruptions killed about 6,000 people in all, and the volcano is one of the Decade Volcanoes that scientists study closely to prevent future disasters. The site was declared a National Geological Monument in 1998 and a national park in 2018. It lies about 50 kilometres south of Manila.
