The Tagaytay Ridge, also known as the Tagaytay Range, is a 32-kilometer (20 mi) mountain range located at the southern part of the province of Cavite, Philippines, with elevations averaging about 600 m (2,000 ft) above sea level.
Taal Volcano (IPA:; Tagalog: Bulkang Taal) is a large caldera filled by Taal Lake in the Philippines. [1] Located in the province of Batangas about 50 kilometers (31 mi) south of Manila, the volcano is the second most active volcano in the country with 38 recorded historical eruptions, all of which were concentrated on Volcano Island, near the middle of Taal Lake. [3]
The lake fills Taal Volcano, a large volcanic caldera formed by very large eruptions between 500,000 and 100,000 years ago. It is the country's third-largest lake, after Laguna de Bay and Lake Lanao. Volcano Island, the location of Taal Volcano's historical eruptions and responsible for the lake's sulfuric content, lies near the center of the lake.
In 1754, after the culmination of worst eruption of Taal Volcano had subsided, the mouth of the river was found blocked by volcanic material, eventually raising the level of the lake. [7] A narrower Pansipit River eventually formed from the layer of ejecta from the volcano and a new course was created.
The younger Volcano Island was formed by numerous explosive hydrovolcanic eruptions in the middle of the lake after the collapse. [2] The slopes of the previous volcano now formed ridges surrounding the lake. Mount Macolod is not only a volcanic cone on the south side but also the highest caldera rim of the former Taal Cone.

Taal Volcano Main Crater Lake (IPA:; or simply Main Crater Lake [3]), historically known as Yellow Lake, [4] is a lake inside the main crater of Taal Volcano. The origin of the lake is uncertain but is thought to have formed by rainwater. The lake briefly disappeared after the 2020 eruption of Taal Volcano. [5] [6]
