Mount Pinatubo is an active stratovolcano in the Zambales Mountains of the Philippines. It is notorious for its June 1991 eruption, the second-largest terrestrial eruption of the 20th century. Effects were felt worldwide, and surrounding areas were heavily damaged by pyroclastic surges — fluidized masses of turbulent gas and rock fragments ejected during the eruption.
