Taal Volcano
Taal Volcano is one of the smallest and lowest volcanoes in the world, but it is also one of the world's most dangerous and most active volcanoes.

A good view of Taal Volcano can be obtained from Tagaytay Ridge, which is situated 686 meters above the surface of the Taal Lake.
The volcano has erupted numerous times over recent centuries -- in 1716, 1754, 1911, and 1965.
