Mayon Volcano erupts, glowing red lava out from its crater. Mount Mayon spews huge ash clouds in Legazpi City, Albay, Philippines
The volcano, located in the Albay province of central Philippines, first spewed ash on Saturday afternoon - followed by a further five-minute eruption on Sunday morning.
Since the eruptions, a “faint crater glow” has been observed, and dramatic images sent in to Express.co.uk show a bright red light being emitted from the mountain.
The incredible photographs show the glowing red lava at the peak of the 2,463 metre mountain just hours after the volcano erupted for a second time.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) raised the alert to level 2 in the early hours of Sunday, which means that the current activity is "probably of magmatic origin, which could lead to more phreatic eruptions or eventually to hazardous magmatic eruptions."
