believe it or not this tiny volcano is one of the most explosive and active volcanoes today-the taal volcano is located in Tagaytay, Batangas, Philippines. The taal volcano is in the foreground..wander your eye to the right of this image you will see a fishing village on lake taal(the lake is fresh water). also, even though you may not see this.. there is a home at the base of the volcano and fishing boats.
