		The eruption of Mount Tambora on Sumbawa island blew 200 times more magma and pulverised rock into the air than Mount St Helen's in the US state of Washington in 1980, according to Sigurdsson.
		Tambora's blast also sent sulfur dioxide 43 kilometres into the air, creating a chemical chain reaction in the atmosphere that caused a year of global cooling that made 1816 "the year without a summer".

	Tambora, Indonesian Volcano (Tambora Volcano Part I) Indodigest (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The paroxysmal eruption of Mt. Tambora on the island of Sumbawa in April 1815 - despite having triggered a world wide historic event - is astonishingly neglected in studies of volcanic activity.
		It is just possible that Tambora triggered a partial collapse of itself early in the eruption, unleashing an eruption plume of sudden and horrific force, not unlike Mt. St.
		Clearly Tambora Caldera remained considerably active after the period of the grand collapse, though apparently its fumings had not disrupted the tranquility of the inhabitants below enough to be noticed.

		When Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines blew its top in 1991, causing one of the largest eruptions of this century, it wasn't a concern just to volcanologists and the people living near the volcano.
		Mount Pinatubo reduced the ozone layer around the equator by about 35 per cent for a full year.
		The most famous example of this is the 'Year without a summer' after the eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia in the spring of 1815 — what many experts believe to have been the most explosive eruption in the past 10,000 years.

	Mt Tambora Climb - Lombok Travel Tales
		Though in Lombok the rainy season had started already early (another climb of Rinjani; thus did not materialize) the weather in Dompu was still fine, sunny and dry, in fact on the road it was fairly sticky hot.
		Weather wise we were lucky, seeing both sunset and sunrise at the top of Tambora and parallel to it the rise of a full moon with bright lights just right for the night (climb).
		The village now has been renamed Tambora (Soeharto terminology no longer en vogue); we went straight to the house of the village chief (Kepala Daerah) where we were warmly welcomed by him and his wife and some elderly.

		Tambora is a large stratovolcano composed dominantly of nepheline-normative, leucite-bearing trachybasalt and trachyandesite (Petroeschevsky, 1949; Foden and Varne, 1980; Alzwar and others, 1981; Barberi and others, 1983; Self and others, 1984; Foden, 1986).
		The June 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo was global.
		Tambora's volcanic cloud lowered global temperatures by as much as 3 degrees °C. Even a year after the eruption, most of the northern hemisphere experienced sharply cooler temperatures during the summer months.

		In 1815, the eruption of Mount Tambora buried the tiny kingdom of Tambora beneath 10 feet of pumice and ash, killing its 10,000 inhabitants and instantly preserving their remains in a 1,000-degree time capsule.
		Before Mount Tambora erupted in 1815, it was the highest peak in Indonesia, at 13,000 feet, but the explosion blasted away nearly a quarter of its height and left a crater, or caldera, 3,640 feet deep and 4 miles across.
		Tambora was an affluent civilization, says Sigurdsson, known along East Indies trade routes for its honey, horses, sappan wood for producing red dye and sandalwood for incense and medications.

		During the eruption, Mount Tambora ejected up to 100 cubic kilometers of magma and pulverized rock, and it spewed ash and 400 million tons of sulfurous gases 44 kilometers into the atmosphere.
		The gases that lingered in the atmosphere caused a year of global cooling in 1816 that is now known as 'the year without a summer' and which caused disease epidemics and worldwide food shortages due to crop failures.
		Sigurdsson made his first visit to Mount Tambora in 1986 with URI colleague Steven Carey to calculate the size of the eruption.
