Taal Volcano is a volcano on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. Today it comprises the Taal Caldera, which was formed by a very powerful eruption during prehistoric times, surrounded by Lake Taal. It is one of the major tourist attractions of the Philippines, due to its picturesque setting. Most visitors come to view Taal Volcano from viewpoints at the Tagaytay Ridge.

Taal Volcano is classified as one of the active volcanoes of the Philippines, and as such, as closely monitored for any signs of activity. Although it has not erupted since 1977, Taal Volcano did show some signs of unrest since 1991. As such, the Philippines Institute of Volcanology and Seismology often issues warnings whenever Taal Volcanoes seem to throw a fit.
