The highly explosive eruption of Mount Pinatubo in 1991 is well known. Yet, there is also another volcano in the Philippines which formed a caldera in historic time. What I am referring to is Mount Parker on the island of Mindanao, which collapsed into a caldera during its voluminous 1641 eruption. This video will discuss this volcano, its caldera, and the similarities it shares with Mount Pinatubo.
