В настоящее время ученые продолжают наблюдение за Пинатубо. Но вулкан напоминает о себе только небольшими регулярными подземными толчками, которые исключают возможность строительства в радиусе двух десятков километров. На склонах постепенно восстанавливается утраченный вследствие извержения растительный покров. Сквозь толстый слой пепла и вулканических пород пробиваются к свету новые ростки жизни.

Today Pinatubo's height makes 1486 m though till June, 1991 it was 1745 m. Owing to the last activity in the center of a volcano there was a new crater. Its diameter makes 2,5 km. Now in a crater there is a water with which are resupplied during rains. This grandiose mountain lake enjoys popularity at tourists.
Pinatubo's eruption in 1991 began rather promptly. Unexpectedly, after more than six-century hibernation, the volcano came to a condition of activity. Some strong explosions for a week led about one thousand people to emission of aerosols in a stratosphere, a devastation of vicinities and death. The most powerful explosion was followed by formation of an eruptivny column 34 km high. Emission of ashes at some o'clock closed a huge site of a firmament, and all surrounding territory appeared in full darkness.
Now scientists continue supervision over Pinatubo. But the volcano reminds of itself only small regular tremors which exclude possibility of construction in a radius of two tens kilometers. On slopes the vegetable cover lost owing to eruption is gradually restored. Through a thick layer of ashes and volcanic breeds new sprouts of life make the way to light.
