Taal is located 50 km (30 miles) south of Metro Manila (about an hour's drive) on the island of Luzon, and is thus a favorite tourist attraction (the view from the Tagaytay Ridge, overlooking the caldera lake, is unmatched). At night, you can usually see the faintly luminous ash clouds drift overhead. The Taal volcanic system consists of a 30 km-wide crater lake (Taal Lake), with a low-profile pre-caldera cone (Volcano Island, or Taal Island) in the middle. It can't really be called Mount Taal, since most of the Tagaytay Ridge is higher than the cone itself. Over 34 major eruptions have been recorded since 1572, usually limited to Volcano Island & the lake region, but at least 2 in recent years have forced evacuation of villages & towns to the west. Historically, earthquakes & ash fall generated by Taal's eruptions have reached as far north as Manila, but no large eruptions have been reported since 1965. Taal Island is legally off-limits to anybody but volcanologists, but some farmers have set up homesteads on it (due to the extremely rich soil). ~Taken from http://everything2.com/title/Taal%2520Volcano
