Minor phreatomagmatic eruption occurs at Taal Volcano on July 17​

What happens when lake water meets magma




https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taal_Volcano

From 2013, "A large hydrothermal reservoir beneath Taal Volcano (Philippines) revealed by magnetotelluric observations and its implications to the volcanic activity"

Apparently people go boating on the lake! "A day trip to the captivating Taal Volcano and boating the serene waters of Taal Lake." What could happen?

got to admit, that video of the explosion is one of the coolest videos I've seen in a long time.
Sometimes, I have to give the geographers credit, their subject is quite cool...
