The volcano is still active and has erupted in 2000 and 2001. Mayon Volcano reaches 2,460 meters and is the central feature of the Albay Province. It is visible for miles around in the otherwise flat landscape of the region. There is a research station located about one third of the way up that is accessible by road and is the jump-off for climbers.
