Lahar is an English word for a destructive mudflow on the slopes of a volcano.
It became a widely understood and used word in the Philippines during and after the eruption of Mount Pinatubo in 1991.
Lahar is a type of mudflow or debris flow composed of a slurry of pyroclastic material, rocky debris, and water. The material flows down from a volcano, typically along a river valley.
It looks like a thick and gray fastflowing gushing river. Once you fall in the path of one, it’s game over. No escape.
