Tambora is a stratovolcano located on the island of Sumbawa in Indonesia. It is best known for its catastrophic eruption in April 1815, which is considered one of the most powerful volcanic eruptions in recorded history. The eruption ejected massive amounts of ash and gases into the atmosphere, leading to significant climate changes worldwide. The aftermath of the eruption caused what is known as the "Year Without a Summer" in 1816, resulting in widespread crop failures and food shortages in the Northern Hemisphere. This event had lasting effects on agriculture and contributed to social unrest in various regions, highlighting the profound impact of volcanic activity on global climate and human society.
