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.

Eruptions of Mount Pinatubo

Pinatubo has had at least 6 periods of activity with large explosive eruptions in its past
35,000 years prior to the 1991 eruption. The 1991 eruption in this context actually
ranks as one of the smaller eruptions. An eruption, which occurred 35,000 years ago
and probably created the caldera, was likely much bigger.

Typical eruption style: explosive

Pinatubo volcano eruptions: 1992, 1991 (Plinian eruption), 1450 ± 50 years, 1050 BC ± 500, 3550
BC (?), 7030 BC ± 300, 7460 BC ± 150, 15,000 BC, 33,000 BC
