S44-82-033 - STS-044 - Mount Pinatubo Volcano - Post Eruption, Luzon, Philippines
Summary
The original finding aid described this as:
Description: Mt. Pinatubo on the island of Luzon (15.5N, 120.0E) erupted catastrophically in June 1991 after over 600 years of inactivity. This is the first shuttle post eruption photo. The north facing crater is not obvious in this scene but the blowout area, in the once heavily forested region, is easily observed as lava flow, ash fallout, mud slide and debris trails mar the landscape. Clark AFB, once the crossroads of the SW Pacific can only partially be seen. Image 033 was selected by the Public Affairs Office (PAO) for public release.
