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
