The explosions at the Mayon volcano in the Philippines are growing more intense, and the area remains on high alert for a major eruption.
Lava has been flowing from the dome for ten days and scientists are concerned a violent, toxic explosion could devastate the area surrounding volcano.
Meanwhile, many of the area residents will have to spend their Christmas in shelters. Al Jazeera's correspondent Marga Ortigas reports from Legazpi City, near Mount Mayon.
