A DANGEROUS BEAUTY
Aerial shot of Mount Mayon taken from a helicopter in Legazpi, Albay, Philippines on a very clear day.
Mount Mayon is famous for its perfect cone-shaped symmetry and is considered to be a great wonder of the world.
It has also one of the toughest technical climbs not only for its steep slopes and dangerous ridges but because it is an active stratovolcano and has recently erupted.
