Taal Volcano you have to trek to the crater!

Taal Volcano is a volcano in a lake on an island.

Now as confusing as they may seem, to add a bit more confusion, Taal Volcano is actually within a volcano. I'm going to try and clear this up for you, stay with me.....oh yeah and did I mention that Taal Volcano is active?

Okay, here goes, the Taal Volcano sits inside Lake Taal. Lake Taal is situated within a caldera, a caldera is formed by the sudden collapse of surrounding land after a volcanic explosion.

If you look at the photo below, you can see Taal Volcano in the middle of the lake.

Where I took the photo is actually from the edge of the caldera, which use to be the rim of the original volcano! As you can see it is pretty darn big! Just looking at the shear size of the caldera, the original volcano must have been enormous!

Where the volcano lies now is called Volcano Island and in the centre is another lake, albeit smaller that Taal Lake, it is only a couple of kilometres wide. This lake is called Crater Lake and inside Crater Lake is Vulcan Point.

Vulcan Point is a small volcanic island. Right glad we cleared that up!
