Tambora

Mount Tambora is a volcano located on the island of Sumbawa in Indonesia. In April 1815, it erupted in one of the most powerful volcanic events in history, releasing vast amounts of ash and gases into the atmosphere. This eruption caused significant climate changes, leading to the "Year Without a Summer" in 1816, which resulted in crop failures and food shortages in parts of the world. Tambora's eruption dramatically impacted global weather patterns and is a significant event in both geological and environmental studies. Today, it’s recognized for its influence on climate and the environment.
