The 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines' Luzon Volcanic Arc was the second-largest volcanic eruption of the 20th century, behind only the 1912 eruption of Novarupta in Alaska.

Seismic activity during this period became intense. When even more highly gas-charged magma reached Pinatubo's surface on June 15, 1991, the volcano exploded, sending an ash cloud 40 km (25 mi) into the atmosphere.
