Question: is it true that the taal volcano is the smallest in the world ?

Taal isn’t a very tall volcano…but in terms of the sizes of its eruptions and the size of its footprint on the land it is HUGE!! In the past…it has sent dangerous pyroclastic flows as far away as the capital city Manilla (thankfully before many people lived there). It is a volcano which volcanologists are really trying to study, as a lot of people live near it.
