Mt. Pinatubo

Pinatubo volcano exploded spectacularly on 15 June 1991. The Pinatubo eruption

on 15 June 1991 was the second largest volcanic eruption of the 20th century.
Pinatubo is a complex of lava domes located 100 km NW of Manila city, Luzon
Island, Philippines.
Prior to the eruption, Pinatubo was a little known volcano and it had been dormant
for 400 years. There were no known historic eruptions. Before the eruption in 1991
Pinatubo was 1745 m high (ca. 250 m more than now), and was only 200 m higher
than the nearby peaks, which are remnants of older volcanic edifices of Mt
Pinatubo and hid it from views from distance. Pinatubo mostly noted for a failed
geothermal development project.
