This commercial print of an eruption of Mayon volcano on June 7, 1938, shows a powerful vertical eruption column rising above the summit and pyroclastic flows sweeping down the flanks.  During this eruption a lava flow traveled down the east flank to 570 m elevation, and shorter lava flows descended the SSW, west, NW, and NNE flanks. From the collection of Maurice and Katia Krafft.
