On June 15, 1991, the second-largest terrestrial volcanic eruption of the 20th century occurred on Mount Pinatubo. The active volcano is home to indigenous Aetas of the Zambales Mountains on the island of Luzon, Philippines.
The effects of the 1991 eruption were felt worldwide, with global temperatures dropping by about 0.5°C in the years 1991-1993.
The summit caldera lake is now a famous hiking destination, offering visitors an unforgettable vista of the volcano complex.
I visited on April 2019, a lifelong bucket list checked – I was 7 years old when Pinatubo erupted, some 100 kilometres northwest of Metro Manila where I lived with my family at the time. The skies turned dramatic grey, with lightning and showers to follow as Typhoon Yunya (Diding) moved ashore and mixed its precipitation with volcanic ash. It was an interesting, one-in-a-lifetime experience if you ask me (sort of similar to the eruption scene in “Dante’s Peak”).
I finally got this going – starting a series of #ItsMoreFunInThePhilippines chill and calm drone videos of places all over the Philippines.
Filmed with a DJI Mavic Air, 4K, edited on LumaFusion 3.0 on 2018 iPad Pro 12.9. No commentary just a chill video.
