Parker volcano, seen here from the E, is located at the S end of Mindanao Island in the Philippines. Reconnaissance studies of the volcano revealed resemblances to Pinatubo volcano, which also produced thick of pyroclastic flow deposits around its flanks. Parker is now thought to be the source of a major eruption in 1641 that plunged much of Mindanao into darkness. Photo by Chris Newhall (U.S. Geological Survey).
