Mount Pinatubo is an active stratovolcano in the Zambales Mountains, located on the boundaries of the provinces of Zambales, Tarlac and Pampanga in the Philippines.

Pinatubo is known for its VEI-6 eruption on June 15, 1991, the second-largest terrestrial eruption of the 20th century after the 1912 eruption of Novarupta in Alaska.

The eruption severely damaged surrounding areas with pyroclastic surges and falls, and flooding lahars caused by rainwater re-mobilizing volcanic deposits. This destruction affected infrastructure and altered river systems for years.

This video documents the 4WD leg of the journey. Whilst nothing much appears to happen, the ruinous landscape, rocky tors and meandering rivelets underscore a fractured, haunting environment. It truly is an extraordinary place to behold.

This video is part 1 of a 3 part video.
