Ancestral Pinatubo is a somma volcano with modern Pinatubo as the new cone. Mount Dorst, to the east, is part of the dip slope of the ancestral Pinatubo. Several mountains near modern Pinatubo are old satellite vents of ancestral Pinatubo, forming volcanic plugs and lava domes. These satellite vents were probably active around the same time as ...
A map of Mount Pinatubo showing nearby peaks and the evacuation zones. In early June, tiltmeter measurements had shown that the volcano was gradually inflating, evidently due to fast-growing amounts of magma filling the reservoir beneath the summit. At the same time, seismic activity, previously concentrated at a depth of a few kilometers below ...
Lake Pinatubo (Filipino: Lawa ng Pinatubo) is the summit crater lake of Mount Pinatubo formed after its climactic eruption on June 15, 1991.

A hazy Mount Arayat as seen from Mount Samat overlooking Manila Bay. Mount Arayat is an isolated potentially active stratovolcano in the Central Luzon plains. Located within vast agricultural lands of Pampanga, it rises prominently to a height of 1,033 metres (3,389 ft) above sea level.
There are 100 volcanoes in the Philippines listed by the Smithsonian Institution's Global Volcanism Program (GVP) at present, [6] of which 20 are categorized as "historical" and 59 as "Holocene". [6] The GVP lists volcanoes with historical, Holocene eruptions, or possibly older if strong signs of volcanism are still evident through thermal ...
