April 10 1815, a volcano erupted in Mount Tambora. The largest eruption since the eruption in Lake Taupo. The explosion was so loud that it was heard on Sumatra island (2000km away). You will not believe this, but the guess of total death was 71 000 people. The climate got cold in North America and Europe, so it was called 'A Year Without Summer'. Crops failed in the Northern Hemisphere, resulting the worst famine in the 1900 century. Small eruptions kepting exploding and it stoped on July.
1819, April 10th with a height of 4m around 10PM a tsunami struck. It only caused few damages and luckily no died.
2004 a team from Rhode Island University came to investigate the eruption in Mount Tambora. They found out that the real estimate of total death was 117,000.
