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

Also led to global cooling
