Global Volcanism Program | Image GVP-01793
An incandescent lava flow, seen in this sunset view from Legaspi City, descends the SE flank towards the village of Buyuan on 27 March 1993. The eruption began on 2 February with an explosion and pyroclastic flow that traveled 6 km down the E flank and killed 75 people. During the rest of the eruption, which ended in early April, slow lava effusion was accompanied by small pyroclastic flows and ash emissions.
