Volcano Bulusan

El volcán más meridional de Luzón se alza sobre selva y lagos de cráter en la provincia de Sorsogón. El Bulusan es conocido por explosiones de vapor repentinas que llegan casi sin aviso; su último episodio de actividad, en 2025, cubrió de ceniza los pueblos agrícolas de alrededor y mantuvo cerrada la zona de peligro permanente de 4 km en torno a la cima.
