Mount Pinatubo: The Aftermath of a Volcanic Eruption
The eruption of Mount Pinatubo in 1991 was the largest volcanic eruption in 80 years. The explosive eruption deposited tons of ash on the towns and villages near the volcano's base.

This video segment adapted from NOVA depicts some of the impact of these events on the communities surrounding the volcano. Closed captioning.
