The 1815 eruption was the largest in recorded history, erupting up to 150 cubic kilometers of volcanic material, making it a VEI-7 on the Volcanic explosivity index. This caused the summer of 1816 to become known as ...
Mount Tambora, volcanic mountain on Sumbawa island, Indonesia, that in April 1815 exploded in the largest volcanic eruption in recorded history. The eruption killed at least 10,000 islanders and expelled enough ash, rock, and aerosols to block sunshine worldwide, lower the global temperature, and cause famine.
On 10 April 1815, Tambora produced the largest eruption known on the planet during the past 10,000 years. The volcano erupted more than 50 cubic kilometers of magma. Caldera collapse at the end of the eruption destroyed 30 km3 of the mountain and formed a 6 km wide and 1250 m deep caldera. FLoating islands of pumice 3 miles long were observed in April 1815, and even 4 years later, these ...
