Taal Volcano Main Crater Lake (IPA: [taʔal]; or simply Main Crater Lake), historically known as Yellow Lake, is a lake inside the main crater of Taal Volcano. The origin of the lake is uncertain but is thought to have formed by rainwater. The lake briefly disappeared after the 2020 eruption of Taal Volcano.
There is an island inside of Main Crater Lake, called Vulcan Point.
