 | | The explosion lowered the south wall, blew away the north wall, and produced an immense 1 x 2-mile [1.6 x 3.2 km] diameter crater in the middle. |
 | | It has been estimated that over 50 cubic km [31 cu mi] of ash was ejected from the crater, 2 1/2 times as much as during the better known eruption of Krakatoa in 1883, and a hundred times as much as Mount St. Helens in 1980. |
