A view of a lightning strike over Taal Volcano during an eruption, in Talisay, Batangas, Philippines, 12 January 2020. Thousands of people have been ordered to evacuate as the authorities in the Philippines raised the alert due to increased activity of Taal volcano, located on an island near Manila. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) raised the alert level from 1 to 3 – on a scale of 5 – after an increase in activity in the crater resulted in an eruption spewing steam and ash up to one-kilometer-high.
