Philippines authorities are currently evacuating about 50,000 people living around the island nation’s most active volcano after it oozed fiery lava and belched clouds of ash. It is predicted that the Mayon Volcano, the most active volcano of the country and most known for its “Perfect Cone” shape, will erupt anytime soon.

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology raised the alert level up a notch on Monday night to level 3. Scientist Alex Baloloy described that under a level 3 alert level, “a full-blown eruption is expected to take place within weeks to days.”

Baloloy said seismic instruments detected 83 volcanic quakes, a majority of which were tremors associated with rockfalls.
