The Hidden Splendid Beauty of Mt. Pinatubo Craters Lake

"Let's Experience Mount Pinatubo After it's Enormous Eruption 26 Years Ago."

In 1991, a dormant volcano north of Manila discharged millions of tons of sulfur dioxide in the air when it was awake after more than 600 years of gap, on what is considered as the largest and most catastrophic volcanic eruption in the recent years.

Ashes covered the entire Luzon landmass and even reached Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and other neighboring Asian countries.Close to a thousand perished, more than a hundred thousand lost their homes, and billion worth of crops were damaged. The eruption also brought down the world temperature by a few centigrade.

The volcanoes original summit forming a caldera; at first the lake was small, high and acidic with a minimum pH of 2 and a temperature of about 40°C. However abundant rainfall led to the creation of a large lake with a cool temperature and nomal pH.

The other afraid that the weight of the watercould breach the craters walls and flood the homes of up to 40,000 people in the small coastal town of Botolan, located 25 miles from Pinatubo. So that Authorities dig 5m- wide channel from the edge of the volcano's crater draining about a quarter of the lake's volume and diverted the excess lake water to local river's. Existing lahar canyons serve as water drainage paths to surrounding rivers and creeks, the largest of which is the Bucao River.

They say that the gradual erosion of the caldera may lead to an eventual collapse of the lakewalls in the foreseeable future and the destruction of the lake itself.

Today, it holds a beauty that covers its tragic past. The blue-green lake on a gray-brown crater is a sight to behold. The irony is that it is now attracting more and more people after its sudden eruption that fend off people from the area more than a decade ago.
