    Mayon Vokann is an ai.:tive andesitic volcano in the eastern (Bieol)volcanic chain. and has erupled 44 limes over approxim:llt1y 400 yurs nfrecorllell histuty. Of these enJptions more than half CJuseli JoS of life l ITserious lIamage 10 rropt'rly . In addilion. lahars unrelaled 10 volcanic aClivityha vt occurred at leut 7 lime s.The volcano i.:u nsisu uf basaltic 10 andesitic lava nows. pyroclasticnow and debris now deposits. and tephra fall deposits. Except or the 1814Plinian erupt ion. all other h i ~ t o r i e l eruptions have been Vulcanian or Strombolian. Two common eruptive sequences are recognized : some eruptionsbegin with milll e.o:plosions and light tephra fall. intensify \0 include pyrocl astic nows. anll end wilh lava c.o:\fusion (e.g . the 1969 eruption). whereasother eruptions begin with quiet emission of lava and end with explosiveejection ofpyroclaslic materials (e .g the 1984 eruption).

    The volcano's nearperfect symmetry implies that most ofitstruptionshave be< n from a central vent. thu pyroclastic ejecta are distribu led more orless uniformly around all sec tors of the volcano. and Ihal no recent eruptionsha ve been large enough 10 destroy Ihal symmetry.INTRODUCTION

    Mayon Volcano ( 13] 5.4'N. 12341.1' E) is an active andesitic.volcano located in the province of Albay in southeastern Luzon(Fig. I . It rises 2462 m above sea level and covers an area (' r 250sq. km. Its base .circumrerence is 63 km. encompassing the townsor $to. Domin ;o. Malilipot and Camalig. 'n,ese and outlying townshave a combined population of more than 800.000 (1980 census).

    The volcano's pre-1984 crater was funnel-shaped, 150 Inacross and 15-30 m deep, and noored with rubble, altered rocks.and volcanic sublimates. Numerous fumaroles within and justoutside the crater continUOUS ly emit a gas plume. Slopes from the

    HISTORICAL ERUPTIONS OF MAYON VOLCANOSince the first reco rded eruption in 1616. Mayon Volcanohas cm ptcd a totaJ o f 44 limes. most recently in J984. Beca useMayon's [ower slopes are densely populated, numerous Ijves and

    properties have been lost during and following eruptio ns. Exceptfor one un usually explosive Plin ia n eruption in 18 14 , early andrecent hi storical eruptions have been dominantly Vulcani: n,producing airfall lapi1li and ash, pyroclas ti c flows, aa lava nows,and frequent, rain- trigge red laha rs (hot h during and follOwingeruptions). Major post-eruption lahars have occurred at leas 7times ove r the period of record.

    Mayan's erup t ions are usually preceded by one or more ofIhe following precursory signs.a) Volcanic earthquakes and ground tilt.b) Fissuring at or nea r the crater;c) A notable in crease in the incidence o f rockfalls in the

    summit area;d)Change in colo r of st ea m emission from white to bro wnor light gray. as a sma ll amoun t of ash is incorporated intothe emission;

    e) Increase in the volume o f steam emission:f) Rumb ling sounds, from gas explosions or venti ng, ea rthquakes. or other processes.g) Crater glow: andh) Abnormal animal behavior. such as descenl of wild pigsand other wi ld animals int o populated areas.

    TIle eruption began with a small ash ejection last ing for 10minutes preceded by loud subterranean noises which continllcrifor one week after the start of the eruption (Abella, 1883 :Faustino, I n()). Explosive pyroclastic eruptions at 15-30 minuteintervals followed, which continued for a few days (Abella, 1883).Heavy ash f;111 blown by the northeasterly wind, darkened thetowns of Call1alig, Guillooatall and Ligao. At least one of the ashclouds was mushroom-shaped and contained pumice. Accounts ofred hot sand Espinas, 1978) and 1:1V:l nows running down theravines probably refer to pyroclastic nowsand subsequent lahars.

    1846 _May II111is event was a strong ash eruption with clouds of smokeoverlain hy a black cloud of a ~ h E s J l i n a ~ , 1978). Approximately12 cm of ash fell on the town of Camali : . Crater glow continued

    Two minor ash eruptions, accompanied by violent tremors.1853: July 13 - u g u ~ t 26

    A major eruption. preceded by loud subterranean noisesbut not by felt earthquakes . At approximately IIOOH. an im-mense column of ash rose from the crater and spread at its topinto a tree -like shape. At the same time, incandescent rocks rolledfrom the summit to the base of the volcano. Ashfall and probablepyroclastic nows hit Cama lig and Guinobatan, leaving them intotal darkness and killing about 34 persons (Selga. 1937).

    On July 27 a major lahar, as much as 4 III deep in the NasisiRiver, changed the course of that river and covered large areas ofLigao. Oas. and Polangui.On AIlgust 20th, from 1400H to 1800H, coarse ash fell inMalilipot. Bacacay, llbog. Guinobalan. Camalig. Cagsaua. andAlbay (legalpi), leaving thcm in total darkness for a little over

    three hours. No mention was madc of nows of incandescentvolcanic materials, nor casualties.

    1855: March 22FollowlIlg crater glow, a minor eruption with incandescent

    ash, fire which spread out in the air in the form of very finethreads of gold, arid small intermit tent lava flows. An earthquake was felt in Manila on this same day (Espinas. 1978), but itis unlikely that the earthquake and eruption were related.1857 : (?)

    An ash eruption as reported by Hochstetter (1859).1858 : January to December

    TIle initial outburst was lava fountaining which rosc up to I SOm above the crater rim. Considerable activity occurred for tenmonths consisting of quiet flows of lava from the crater, and in candescent materials rolling down the sides of the volcano withemissions of small quantities of ashes at the crater. Entire forestsand plantations were destroyed, and many people dicd from malnutrition and poor sanitation in the evacuation centers. Laharswere reported by Neumann van Padang (1953).

    n 1858 or 1859, a pillar - (spine) rose just outside the rimof the crater: Jagor (1873) estimated it to be 30-35 m tall, andVon Drasche (1881) estimated it to be 60 m tall. It was subsequently destroyed by the 1892 eruption.1859-1860

    During this period, the crater glowed cont inuously.1861

"Dust laden vapors atthe summit and smal1 quantities of lava and molten materials"were extrud ed fro m fiss ures near th e crater. n May 13, a slrongtecto nic earthquake along the Philippine Fault Zone that triggered several rockfalls on the eastern (Sto. Domingo) side of Mayonmight have hastened the June eruption.On June 4 , th e eruption began with a slight emission of ash andincandescent materials which flowed down the eastern slopes. Theemission of ashes and molten materials kept increasing, accompanied by incessan t roarings and rumbl in gs. On the 23rd of June, a" big mass of dark clouds" was seen, and a "multicolored

    cloud" or "o son" (pyroclas tic flow) descended towards Sto. Domin go, cau si ng Mayon to appear as a "glowing mountain" (M.P.,1897). On the 25 th, th e eruption became even more violent. Therewere "flames from the crater," thunder, lightning and flying incandescent stones accompanied by the flow of ashes and sands (pro-bable pyroclastic flows), and "some cloud s o f ash and dust reached Albay (Lega zv i) bu t only for a short while," and the glowingavalanche reached as far as the seashore of Sto, Domingo (M.P.,1897).

    Several barrios were completely overwh elmed. as were portion s of San Fernando and San Roque. Other "rivers of lava"rushed toward the barrios of Pawa and 8igaa o f Legazpi and Tag< sof Daraga .
