Tambora – 1815
Largest volcanic eruption of modern times
Located on Sumbawa Island along the east Sunda Arc
Heard up to 1400 km away! Ash remained in
atmosphere for several years, leading to pronounced cooling and the “Year without a summer” in the northeastern U.S. in 1816
Krakatoa – 1883
Was an island with a 2600 ft mountain off the coast of Java and Sumatra
After eruption, the island was 1000 ft below sea level!
Devastating tsunamis that killed over 36,000 people
Explosion was apparently heard all the way to India and Australia
