피나투보산 (1,486m)

피나투보 산은 필리핀 북쪽 루손 섬에 있는 활화산으로, 1991년에 폭발하였다. 그때 당시 화산폭발지수 6에 해당했는데, 화산 분출로 인해 칼데라가 생겼으며, 사망자는 130여명으로 화산재로 인한 피해보다도 화산이류로 인한 피해가 대부분이었다. 피나투보 산은 1993년, 마지막으로 분출하였으며 지금도 활발히 활동하는 활화산이다.

Mount Pinatubo (1,486m)

Mount Pinatubo is an active stratovolcano in the Zambales Mountains, located on the tripoint boundary of the Philippine provinces of Zambales, Tarlac and Pampanga, all in Central Luzon on the northern island of Luzon. Its eruptive history was unknown to most before the pre-eruption volcanic activities of 1991, just before June. Pinatubo was heavily eroded, inconspicuous and obscured from view. It was covered with dense forests which supported a population of several thousand indigenous Aetas.
