1815 eruption

The 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia was one of the most powerful volcanic eruptions in recorded history. It occurred in April 1815 and released massive amounts of ash and gases into the atmosphere. This led to the "Year Without a Summer" in 1816, causing severe climate anomalies around the world. Crops failed in many regions, leading to food shortages and widespread famine. The eruption resulted in significant loss of life and had lasting effects on global weather patterns, demonstrating the profound impact a single volcanic event can have on the environment and society.
