A Beutiful Disaster

in #nature7 years ago

Such a beautiful disaster! The crater lake of Mt. Pinatubo in Pampanga, Phillipines. This volcano erupted several times recently in 1991. In prehistoric times it was 4000 meters above sea level, due to subsequent eruption of it history its crater collapse. Before 1991 its height was 1500+ MASL after its eruption it reduced to 1200+. That how it cataclysmic eruptions so violent that it claim several lives in 1991. It such a disaster that caused a change in geography in the surrounding province and makes the earth drops its temperature due to its ash clouds scattered in the earth's atmosphere. After the eruption its crater lake expanded and now it a very famous and beautiful tourist attractions for trekkers, 4x4 jeep riders and mountaineers. It takes a violent process but it gives birth to mesmerizing scenery. And this how god crave the beautiful nature, such a beatiful disaster as it is.
