Mount Tambora is located on SUMBAWA Island , part of the LESSER SUNDA ISLANDS. It is a segment of the SUNDA ARC , a string of VOLCANIC ISLANDS that forms the southern chain of the Indonesian ARCHIPELAGO. <ref name="Foden1986">. {{ cite journal .3. title=The petrology of Tambora volcano , Indonesia: A model for the 1815 eruption .3. last=Foden .3. first=J. .3. journal=Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research .3. volume=27 .3. issue=1–2 .3. year=1986 .3. pages=1–41 .3. doi=10.1016/0377-0273(86)90079-X}} </ref>. Tambora forms its own PENINSULA on Sumbawa , known as the Sanggar peninsula. At the north of the peninsula is the FLORES SEA , and at the south is SALEH BAY , {{ convert .3. 86 .3. km .3. mi}} long and {{ convert .3. 36 .3. km .3. mi}} wide. At the mouth of Saleh Bay there is an ISLET called Moyo (Indonesian: (( Pulau Moyo )) ) ..

Besides its interest for SEISMOLOGISTS and VOLCANOLOGISTS , who monitor the mountain's activity , Mount Tambora is an area of scientific studies for archaeologists and BIOLOGISTS. The mountain also attracts tourists for HIKING and wildlife activities. <ref>. {{ cite news .3. url=http://www.sinarharapan.co.id/feature/hobi/2003/0430/hob1.html .3. title=Hobi Mendaki Gunung - Menyambangi Kawah Raksasa Gunung Tambora .3. publisher=Sinar Harapan .3. language=INDONESIAN .3. year=2003 .3. accessdate=2006-11-14}} </ref>. <ref name="prodant">. {{ cite press release .3. url=http://www.gtzpromis.or.id/Proda/documents/Ts_Bima_Dompu.pdf .3. format=Pdf .3. title=Potential Tourism as Factor of Economic Development in the Districts of Bima and Dompu .3. publisher=West and East Nusa Tenggara Local Governments .3. accessdate=2006-11-14}} {{ dead link .3. date=June 2010 .3. bot=Dashbot}} </ref>. The two nearest cities are Dompu and Bima. There are three concentrations of villages around the mountain slope.

There are two ascent routes to reach the CALDERA. The first route starts from Doro Mboha village southeast of the mountain. This route follows a paved road through a CASHEW plantation until it reaches {{ convert .3. 1150 .3. m .3. ft}} ABOVE SEA LEVEL.

Since the 1815 eruption , the lowermost portion contains deposits of interlayered sequences of LAVA and PYROCLASTIC materials. The {{ convert .3. 1 .3. - .3. 4 .3. m .3. ft .3. abbr=on}} thick lava flows constitute approximately 40 % of the layers' thickness. <ref name="Vsi"/>. Thick SCORIA beds were produced by the fragmentation of lava flows. Within the upper section , the lava is interbedded with scoria , TUFFS and pyroclastic flows and falls. <ref name="Vsi"/>. There are at least twenty subsidiary or PARASITIC CONES. <ref name="Sigurdsson1989"/>. Some of them have names: (( Tahe )) (877&nbsp ;m) , (( Molo )) (602&nbsp ;m) , (( Kadiendinae )) , (( Kubah )) (1648&nbsp ;m) and (( Doro Api Toi )) . Most of these parasitic cones have produced BASALTIC LAVAS. ..

Use of the RADIOCARBON DATING technique has established the dates of three of Mount Tambora's eruptions prior to the 1815 eruption. The magnitudes of these eruptions are unknown. <ref name="EruptiveHistory">. {{ cite web .3. title=Tambora - Eruptive History .3. url=http://www.volcano.si.edu/world/volcano.cfm?vnum=0604-04=&volpage=erupt .3. work=Global Volcanism Program .3. publisher=SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION .3. accessdate=2006-11-13}} </ref>. The estimated dates are 3910&nbsp ;Bc &#177; 200 years , 3050&nbsp ;Bc and &nbsp ;740 Ad &#177; 150 years. They were all explosive central vent eruptions with similar characteristics , except the lattermost eruption had no PYROCLASTIC FLOWS. ..
..
In 1812 , Mount Tambora became highly active , with its eruptive peak in the catastrophic explosive event of April 1815. <ref name="EruptiveHistory"/>. The magnitude was 7 on the VOLCANIC EXPLOSIVITY INDEX (Vei) scale , with a total TEPHRA ejecta volume of 1.6&nbsp ;&#215;&nbsp ;10<sup>11</sup>&nbsp ;cubic metres (160 cubic kilometers or 38 cubic miles). <ref name="EruptiveHistory"/>. It was an explosive central vent eruption with pyroclastic flows and a CALDERA collapse , causing TSUNAMIS and extensive land and property damage. It created a long-term effect on global climate. This activity ceased on 15 July 1815. <ref name="EruptiveHistory"/>. Follow-up activity was recorded in August 1819 consisting of a small eruption (Vei = 2) with flames and rumbling AFTERSHOCKS , and was considered to be part of the 1815 eruption. <ref name="Oppenheimer2003"/>. Around 1880&nbsp ;&#177;&nbsp ;30 years , Tambora went into eruption again , but only inside the caldera. <ref name="EruptiveHistory"/>. It created small lava flows and lava dome EXTRUSIONS. This eruption (Vei = 2) created the (( Doro Api Toi )) parasitic cone inside the caldera. <ref>. {{ cite web .3. title=Tambora Historic Eruptions and Recent Activities .3. publisher=Vulcanological Survey of Indonesia .3. url=http://www.vsi.esdm.go.id/volcanoes/tambora/history.html .3. accessdate=2006-11-13 .3. archiveurl = http://web.archive.org/web/20070927043444/http://www.vsi.esdm.go.id/volcanoes/tambora/history.html .3. archivedate = September 27 , 2007 .3. deadurl=yes}} </ref>. ..

(1998) claimed Petroeschevsky's figures to be unfounded and based on untraceable references. <ref name="Tanguy1998"/>. Tanguy revised the number solely based on two credible sources , q.e. , Zollinger , who himself spent several months on Sumbawa after the eruption , and RAFFLES's notes. <ref name="Raffles1830"/>. Tanguy pointed out that there may have been additional victims on BALI and EAST JAVA because of FAMINE and disease. Their estimate was 11 ,000 deaths from direct volcanic effects and 49 ,000 by post-eruption famine and epidemic diseases. <ref name="Tanguy1998"/>. Oppenheimer (2003) stated a modified number of at least 71 ,000 deaths in total , as seen in Table I below. <ref name="Oppenheimer2003"/>. ..

The 1815 eruption released SULFUR into the STRATOSPHERE , causing a global climate anomaly. Different methods have estimated the ejected sulfur mass during the eruption: the PETROLOGICAL method ; an optical depth measurement based on ANATOMICAL observations ; and the POLAR ICE CORE sulfate concentration method , using cores from GREENLAND and ANTARCTICA. The figures vary depending on the method , ranging from 10 to 120 million tons S. <ref name="Oppenheimer2003"/>. ..
..
In the spring and summer of 1816 , a persistent (( dry fog )) was observed in the northeastern UNITED STATES. The fog reddened and dimmed the sunlight , such that sunspots were visible to the naked eye. Neither wind nor rainfall dispersed the "fog". It was identified as a (( stratospheric sulfate aerosol veil )) . <ref name="Oppenheimer2003"/>. In summer 1816 , countries in the NORTHERN HEMISPHERE suffered extreme weather conditions , dubbed the (( YEAR WITHOUT A SUMMER )) . Average global temperatures decreased about 0.4–0.7&nbsp ;&#176;C (0.7–1.3&nbsp ;&#176;F) , <ref name="Stothers1984"/>. enough to cause significant agricultural problems around the globe. On 4 June 1816 , frosts were reported in CONNECTICUT , and by the following day , most of NEW ENGLAND was gripped by the cold front. On 6 June 1816 , snow fell in ALBANY , NEW YORK , and DENNYSVILLE , MAINE. <ref name="Oppenheimer2003"/>. Such conditions occurred for at least three months and ruined most agricultural crops in North America. Canada experienced extreme cold during that summer. Snow {{ convert .3. 30 .3. cm .3. in}} deep accumulated near QUEBEC CITY from 6 to 10 June 1816. ..
..
1816 was the second coldest year in the northern hemisphere since Ce 1400 , after 1601 following the 1600 HUAYNAPUTINA eruption in PERU. <ref name="Briffa1998"/>. The 1810s are the coldest decade on record , a result of Tambora's 1815 eruption and other suspected eruptions somewhere between 1809 and 1810 (see sulfate concentration figure from ICE CORE data). The surface temperature anomalies during the summer of 1816 , 1817 and 1818 were &#8722;0.51 , &#8722;0.44 and &#8722;0.29&nbsp ;&#176;C , respectively. <ref name="Briffa1998"/>. As well as a cooler summer , parts of Europe experienced a stormier winter. ..
..
This pattern of climate anomaly has been blamed for the severity of TYPHUS EPIDEMIC in southeast Europe and the eastern MEDITERRANEAN between 1816 and 1819. <ref name="Oppenheimer2003"/>. Much LIVESTOCK died in New England during the winter of 1816–1817. Cool temperatures and heavy rains resulted in failed harvests in the UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND. Families in WALES traveled long distances as refugees , begging for food. Famine was prevalent in north and southwest Ireland , following the failure of WHEAT , OAT and POTATO harvests. The crisis was severe in Germany , where food prices rose sharply. Due to the unknown cause of the problems , demonstrations in front of grain markets and bakeries , followed by RIOTS , ARSON and LOOTING , took place in many European cities. It was the worst famine of the 19th century. <ref name="Oppenheimer2003"/>. ..

A scientific team led by a SWISS BOTANIST , Heinrich Zollinger , arrived on Sumbawa in 1847. <ref>. {{ cite web .3. title=Heinrich Zollinger .3. url=http://www.zollinger-genealogy.com/FamousZollingers/heinrichzollinger.php .3. publisher=Zollinger Family History Research .3. accessdate=2006-11-14}} </ref>. Zollinger's mission was to study the eruption scene and its effects on the local ECOSYSTEM. He was the first person to climb to the summit after the eruption. It was still covered by smoke. As Zollinger climbed up , his feet sank several times through a thin surface crust into a warm layer of powder-like SULFUR. Some vegetation had re-established itself and a few trees were observed on the lower slope. A (( CASUARINA )) forest was noted at {{ convert .3. 2200 .3. - .3. 2550 .3. m .3. ft .3. abbr=on}}. <ref name="Zollinger2">. Zollinger (1855) cited by Trainor (2002). </ref>. Several (( IMPERATA CYLINDRICA )) GRASSLANDS were also found. ..

Rehabitation of the mountain began in 1907. A COFFEE plantation was started in the 1930s on the northwestern slope of the mountain , in the village of Pekat. <ref name="Boers1995">. {{ cite journal .3. title=Mount Tambora in 1815: A Volcanic Eruption in Indonesia and its Aftermath .3. last=de Jong Boers .3. first=B. .3. journal=Indonesia .3. volume=60 .3. year=1995 .3. pages=37–59 .3. url=http://e-publishing.library.cornell.edu:80/Dienst/Ui/1.0/Summarize/seap.indo/1106964023 .3. doi=10.2307/3351140 .3. format={{ dead link .3. date=April 2009}} – <sup>[http://scholar.google.co.uk/scholar?hl=en&lr=&q=author % 3Ade+Jong+Boers+intitle % 3Amount+Tambora+in+1815 % 3A+A+Volcanic+Eruption+in+Indonesia+and+its+Aftermath&as_publication=Indonesia&as_ylo=1995&as_yhi=1995&btnG=Search Scholar search]</sup> .3. jstor=3351140 .3. publisher=Indonesia , Vol. 60}} </ref>.

It covers an area up to 80 ,000&nbsp ;hectares (800&nbsp ;km<sup>2</sup>). The rain forest was explored by a Dutch team , led by Koster and de Voogd in 1933. <ref name="Boers1995"/>. From their accounts , they started their journey in a "fairly barren , dry and hot country" , and then they entered "a mighty jungle" with "huge , majestic forest giants". At {{ convert .3. 1100 .3. m .3. ft}} , they entered a MONTANE forest. Above {{ convert .3. 1800 .3. m .3. ft}} , they found (( DODONAEA VISCOSA )) dominated by (( Casuarina )) trees.

In 1896 , 56 species of birds were found , including the CRESTED WHITE-EYE. <ref name="Trainor2002">. {{ cite journal .3. title=Birds of Gunung Tambora , Sumbawa , Indonesia: effects of altitude , the 1815 catalysmic volcanic eruption and trade .3. last=Trainor .3. first=C.R. .3. volume=18 .3. journal=Forktail .3. year=2002 .3. pages=49–61 .3. url=http://www.orientalbirdclub.org/publications/forktail/18pdfs/Trainor-Tambora.pdf .3. format=Pdf}} </ref>. Twelve further species were found in 1981. Several other zoological surveys followed , and found other bird species on the mountain , resulting in over 90 bird species discovered on Mount Tambora. YELLOW-CRESTED COCKATOOS , (( ZOOTHERA )) THRUSHES , HILL MYNAS , GREEN JUNGLEFOWL and RAINBOW LORIKEETS are hunted for the cagebird trade by the local people. ORANGE-FOOTED SCRUBFOWL are hunted for food. This bird exploitation has resulted in a decline in the bird population. The Yellow-crested Cockatoo is nearing extinction on Sumbawa island. <ref name="Trainor2002"/>. ..

Since 1972 , a COMMERCIAL LOGGING COMPANY has been operating in the area , which poses a large threat to the rain forest. The logging company holds a TIMBER-cutting concession for an area of 20 ,000&nbsp ;hectares (200&nbsp ;km<sup>2</sup>) , or 25 % of the total area. <ref name="Boers1995"/>. Another part of the rain forest is used as a HUNTING ground. In between the hunting ground and the logging area , there is a designated WILDLIFE RESERVE where DEER , WATER BUFFALOS , WILD PIGS , BATS , FLYING FOXES , and various species of REPTILES and BIRDS can be found. <ref name="Boers1995"/>. ..

A VOLCANIC ERUPTION as large as the Tambora 1815 eruption would cause catastrophic devastation with more fatalities. Therefore , volcanic activity in Indonesia is continuously monitored , including that of Mount Tambora. SEISMIC ACTIVITY in Indonesia is monitored by the DIRECTORATE OF VULCANOLOGY AND GEOLOGICAL HAZARD MITIGATION , Indonesia. The monitoring post for Mount Tambora is located at Doro Peti village. <ref name="vsidanger">. {{ cite web .3. url=http://merapi.vsi.esdm.go.id/?static/volcano/tambora/bahaya.html .3. title=Tambora Hazard Mitigation .3. publisher=Directorate of Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation .3. accessdate=2006-11-13 .3. language=in INDONESIAN .3. archiveurl = http://web.archive.org/web/20070929120048/http://merapi.vsi.esdm.go.id/?static/volcano/tambora/bahaya.html .3. archivedate = September 29 , 2007 .3. deadurl=yes}} </ref>.

However , monitoring is continuously performed inside the caldera , especially around the parasite cone Doro Api Toi. ..

The directorate has defined a hazard MITIGATION MAP for Mount Tambora. Two zones are declared: the dangerous zone and the cautious zone. <ref name="vsidanger"/>. The dangerous zone is an area that will be directly affected by an eruption: pyroclastic flow , lava flow and other pyroclastic falls. This area , including the caldera and its surroundings , covers up to {{ convert .3. 58.7 .3. km2 .3. acre}}. Habitation of the dangerous zone is prohibited. The cautious zone includes areas that might be indirectly affected by an eruption: LAHAR flows and other pumice stones. The size of the cautious area is {{ convert .3. 185 .3. km2 .3. acre}} , and includes PASANGGRAHAN , DORO PETI , RAO , LABUAN KENANGA , GUBU PONDA , KAWINDANA TOI and Hoddo villages. A river , called GUWU , at the southern and northwest part of the mountain is also included in the cautious zone. <ref name="vsidanger"/>. ..

((((( Mount Tambora ))))) (or (( Tamboro )) ) is an active STRATOVOLCANO , also known as a COMPOSITE VOLCANO , on the island of SUMBAWA , INDONESIA. Sumbawa is flanked both to the north and south by OCEANIC CRUST , and Tambora was formed by the active SUBDUCTION ZONE beneath it. This raised Mount Tambora as high as Plantilla:Convert .3. 4300 .3. m .3. abbr=on , [4]. making it formerly one of the tallest peaks in the Indonesian archipelago. After a large MAGMA CHAMBER inside the mountain filled over the course of several decades , volcanic activity reached a historic climax in the super-colossal eruption of April 1815. [5]. ..

..

The 1815 eruption is rated 7 on the VOLCANIC EXPLOSIVITY INDEX , the only such eruption since the LAKE TAUPO eruption in about 180 Ad. [6]. With an estimated ejecta volume of 160 cubic kilometers , Tambora's 1815 outburst was the largest volcanic eruption in recorded history. The explosion was heard on SUMATRA island (more than Plantilla:Convert .3. 2000 .3. km .3. abbr=on away). Heavy VOLCANIC ASH falls were observed as far away as BORNEO , SULAWESI , JAVA and MALUKU islands. Most deaths from the eruption were from starvation and disease , as the eruptive fallout ruined agricultural productivity in the local region. The death toll was at least 71 ,000 people (THE MOST DEADLY ERUPTION IN RECORDED HISTORY) , of whom 11 ,000–12 ,000 were killed directly by the eruption ; [6]. the often-cited figure of 92 ,000 people killed is believed to be overestimated. [7]. The eruption created global climate anomalies that included the phenomenon known as "VOLCANIC WINTER": 1816 became known as the "YEAR WITHOUT A SUMMER" because of the effect on North American and European weather. AGRICULTURAL crops failed and LIVESTOCK died in much of the NORTHERN HEMISPHERE , resulting in the worst FAMINE of the 19th century. [6]. ..

..

During an EXCAVATION in 2004 , a team of ARCHAEOLOGISTS discovered cultural remains buried by the 1815 eruption. [8]. They were kept intact beneath the Plantilla:Convert .3. 3 .3. m .3. abbr=on deep PYROCLASTIC deposits. At the site , dubbed the (( POMPEII of the East )) , the artifacts were preserved in the positions they had occupied in 1815. ..

..

Mount Tambora is located on SUMBAWA Island , part of the LESSER SUNDA ISLANDS. It is a segment of the SUNDA ARC , a string of VOLCANIC ISLANDS that forms the southern chain of the Indonesian ARCHIPELAGO. [9]. Tambora forms its own PENINSULA on Sumbawa , known as the Sanggar peninsula. At the north of the peninsula is the FLORES SEA , and at the south is SALEH BAY , Plantilla:Convert .3. 86 .3. km .3. mi long and Plantilla:Convert .3. 36 .3. km .3. mi wide. At the mouth of Saleh Bay there is an ISLET called Moyo (Indonesian: (( Pulau Moyo )) ) ..

..

Besides its interest for SEISMOLOGISTS and VOLCANOLOGISTS , who monitor the mountain's activity , Mount Tambora is an area of scientific studies for archaeologists and BIOLOGISTS. The mountain also attracts tourists for HIKING and wildlife activities. [10]. [11]. The two nearest cities are Dompu and Bima. There are three concentrations of villages around the mountain slope. At the east is Sanggar village , to the northwest are Doro Peti and Pesanggrahan villages , and to the west is Calabai village. ..

..

There are two ascent routes to reach the CALDERA. The first route starts from Doro Mboha village southeast of the mountain. This route follows a paved road through a CASHEW plantation until it reaches Plantilla:Convert .3. 1150 .3. m .3. ft ABOVE SEA LEVEL. The end of this route is the southern part of the caldera at Plantilla:Convert .3. 1950 .3. m .3. ft , reachable by a hiking track. [12]. This location is usually used as a base camp to monitor the volcanic activity , because it only takes one hour to reach the caldera. The second route starts from Pancasila village northwest of the mountain. Using the second route , the caldera is accessible only by foot. [12]. ..

..

(==) Geological history (==) .. (===) Formation (===) .. Tambora lies Plantilla:Convert .3. 340 .3. km .3. mi north of the JAVA TRENCH system and Plantilla:Convert .3. 180 .3. - .3. 190 .3. km .3. mi above the upper surface of the active north-dipping SUBDUCTION ZONE. Sumbawa island is flanked to both the north and south by the OCEANIC CRUST. [13]. The convergence rate is 7.8&nbsp ;cm/year (3&nbsp ;in/year). [14]. Tambora is estimated to have formed around 57 ,000 years ago. [5]. Depositing its strata has drained off a large MAGMA CHAMBER inside the mountain. The Mojo islet was formed as part of this geological process in which Saleh Bay , collapsing into the caldera of the drained magma chamber , first appeared as a SEA BASIN , about 25 ,000 years ago. [5]. ..

..

According to a geological survey , prior to the 1815 eruption Tambora had the shape of a typical STRATOVOLCANO , with a high symmetrical volcanic cone and a single central vent. [15]. The diameter at the base is Plantilla:Convert .3. 60 .3. km .3. mi. [9]. The central vent emitted lava frequently , which cascaded down a steep slope. ..

..

Since the 1815 eruption , the lowermost portion contains deposits of interlayered sequences of LAVA and PYROCLASTIC materials. The Plantilla:Convert .3. 1 .3. - .3. 4 .3. m .3. ft .3. abbr=on thick lava flows constitute approximately 40 % of the layers' thickness. [15]. Thick SCORIA beds were produced by the fragmentation of lava flows. Within the upper section , the lava is interbedded with scoria , TUFFS and pyroclastic flows and falls. [15]. There are at least twenty subsidiary or PARASITIC CONES. [14]. Some of them have names: (( Tahe )) (877&nbsp ;m) , (( Molo )) (602&nbsp ;m) , (( Kadiendinae )) , (( Kubah )) (1648&nbsp ;m) and (( Doro Api Toi )) . Most of these parasitic cones have produced BASALTIC LAVAS. ..

..

(===) Eruptive history (===) .. Use of the RADIOCARBON DATING technique has established the dates of three of Mount Tambora's eruptions prior to the 1815 eruption. The magnitudes of these eruptions are unknown. [16]. The estimated dates are 3910&nbsp ;Bc ± 200 years , 3050&nbsp ;Bc and &nbsp ;740 Ad ± 150 years. They were all explosive central vent eruptions with similar characteristics , except the lattermost eruption had no PYROCLASTIC FLOWS. ..

..

In 1812 , Mount Tambora became highly active , with its eruptive peak in the catastrophic explosive event of April 1815. [16]. The magnitude was 7 on the VOLCANIC EXPLOSIVITY INDEX (Vei) scale , with a total TEPHRA ejecta volume of 1.6&nbsp ;×&nbsp ;1011&nbsp ;cubic metres (160 cubic kilometers or 38 cubic miles). [16]. It was an explosive central vent eruption with pyroclastic flows and a CALDERA collapse , causing TSUNAMIS and extensive land and property damage. It created a long-term effect on global climate. This activity ceased on 15 July 1815. [16]. Follow-up activity was recorded in August 1819 consisting of a small eruption (Vei = 2) with flames and rumbling AFTERSHOCKS , and was considered to be part of the 1815 eruption. [6]. Around 1880&nbsp ;±&nbsp ;30 years , Tambora went into eruption again , but only inside the caldera. [16]. It created small lava flows and lava dome EXTRUSIONS. This eruption (Vei = 2) created the (( Doro Api Toi )) parasitic cone inside the caldera. [17]. ..

..

Mount Tambora is still ACTIVE. Minor lava domes and flows have been extruded on the caldera floor during the 19th and 20th centuries. [1]. The last eruption was recorded in 1967. [16]. However , it was a very small , non-explosive eruption (Vei = 0). ..

The red areas show thickness of volcanic ashfall. The outermost region (1&nbsp ;cm thickness) reached BORNEO and the SULAWESI islands. ..

..

Mount Tambora experienced several centuries of inactive DORMANCY before 1815 , as the result of the gradual cooling of HYDROUS MAGMA in a closed MAGMA chamber. [9]. Inside the chamber at depths between Plantilla:Convert .3. 1.5 .3. - .3. 4.5 .3. km .3. ft .3. abbr=on , the EXSOLUTION of a high-pressure fluid magma formed during cooling and CRYSTALLISATION of the magma. Overpressure of the chamber of about 4–5 KBAR was generated , and the temperature ranged from Plantilla:Convert .3. 700 .3. - .3. 850 .3. C .3. F. [9]. ..

..

In 1812 , the CALDERA began to rumble and generated a dark cloud. [4]. On 5 April 1815 , a moderate-sized eruption occurred , followed by THUNDEROUS detonation sounds , heard in MAKASSAR on SULAWESI (Plantilla:Convert .3. 380 .3. km .3. mi .3. disp=or) , Batavia (now JAKARTA) on JAVA (Plantilla:Convert .3. 1260 .3. km .3. mi .3. abbr=on .3. disp=or) , and TERNATE on the MOLUCCA ISLANDS (Plantilla:Convert .3. 1400 .3. km .3. mi .3. abbr=on .3. disp=or). On the morning of April 6 , VOLCANIC ASH began to fall in EAST JAVA with faint DETONATION sounds lasting until 10 April. What was first thought to be sound of firing guns was heard on April 10th on SUMATRA island (more than Plantilla:Convert .3. 2600 .3. km .3. mi .3. abbr=on .3. disp=or away). [18]. ..

..

At about 7&nbsp ;p.m. on 10 April , the eruptions intensified. [4]. Three columns of flame rose up and merged. [18]. The whole mountain was turned into a flowing mass of "liquid fire". [18]. PUMICE stones of up to Plantilla:Convert .3. 20 .3. cm .3. in in diameter started to rain down at approximately 8&nbsp ;p.m. , followed by ash at around 9–10&nbsp ;p.m. Hot PYROCLASTIC FLOWS cascaded down the mountain to the sea on all sides of the peninsula , wiping out the village of Tambora. Loud explosions were heard until the next evening , 11 April. The ash veil had spread as far as WEST JAVA and SOUTH SULAWESI. A "nitrous" odor was noticeable in BATAVIA and heavy TEPHRA-tinged rain fell , finally receding between 11 and 17 April. [4]. ..

..

The first explosions were heard on this Island in the evening of 5 April , they were noticed in every quarter , and continued at intervals until the following day. The noise was , in the first instance , almost universally attributed to distant cannon ; so much so , that a detachment of troops were marched from DJOCJOCARTA , in the expectation that a neighbouring post was attacked , and along the coast boats were in two instances dispatched in quest of a supposed ship in distress. ..

—SIR STAMFORD RAFFLES' memoir. [18].

..

..

The explosion is estimated to have been at scale 7 on the VOLCANIC EXPLOSIVITY INDEX. [19]. It had roughly four times the energy of the 1883 KRAKATOA eruption , meaning that it was equivalent to an 800 megaton explosion. An estimated 160 cubic kilometers (38 cubic miles) of pyroclastic TRACHYANDESITE was ejected , weighing approximately 1.4×1014&nbsp ;kg (see above).This has left a caldera measuring Plantilla:Convert .3. 6 .3. - .3. 7 .3. km .3. mi .3. abbr=on across and Plantilla:Convert .3. 600 .3. - .3. 700 .3. m .3. ft .3. abbr=on deep. [4]. The density of fallen ash in MAKASSAR was 636&nbsp ;kg/m². [20]. Before the explosion , Mount Tambora was approximately Plantilla:Convert .3. 4300 .3. m .3. ft high , [4]. one of the tallest peaks in the Indonesian archipelago. After the explosion , it now measures only Plantilla:Convert .3. 2851 .3. m .3. ft. [21]. ..

..

The 1815 Tambora eruption is the largest observed eruption in recorded history (see Table I , for comparison). [4]. [6]. The explosion was heard Plantilla:Convert .3. 2600 .3. km .3. mi away , and ash fell at least Plantilla:Convert .3. 1300 .3. km .3. mi away. [4]. Pitch darkness was observed as far away as Plantilla:Convert .3. 600 .3. km .3. mi from the mountain summit for up to two days. Pyroclastic flows spread at least Plantilla:Convert .3. 20 .3. km .3. mi from the summit. ..

..

(===) Aftermath (===) ..

On my trip towards the western part of the island , I passed through nearly the whole of Dompo and a considerable part of Bima. The extreme misery to which the inhabitants have been reduced is shocking to behold. There were still on the road side the remains of several corpses , and the marks of where many others had been interred: the villages almost entirely deserted and the houses fallen down , the surviving inhabitants having dispersed in search of food.
...
Since the eruption , a violent DIARRHOEA has prevailed in Bima , Dompo , and Sang’ir , which has carried off a great number of people. It is supposed by the natives to have been caused by drinking water which has been impregnated with ashes ; and horses have also died , in great numbers , from a similar complaint. ..

—Lt. Philips , ordered by SIR STAMFORD RAFFLES to go to SUMBAWA. [18].

..

..

All vegetation on the island was destroyed. Uprooted trees , mixed with pumice ash , washed into the sea and formed rafts of up to Plantilla:Convert .3. 5 .3. km .3. mi across. [4]. One pumice raft was found in the INDIAN OCEAN , near CALCUTTA on 1 and 3 October 1815. [6]. Clouds of thick ash still covered the summit on 23 April. Explosions ceased on 15 July , although smoke emissions were still observed as late as 23 August. Flames and rumbling aftershocks were reported in August 1819 , four years after the event. ..

..

A moderate-sized TSUNAMI struck the shores of various islands in the Indonesian archipelago on 10 April , with a height of up to Plantilla:Convert .3. 4 .3. m .3. ft in Sanggar at around 10&nbsp ;p.m. [4]. A tsunami of Plantilla:Convert .3. 1 .3. - .3. 2 .3. m .3. ft .3. abbr=on in height was reported in Besuki , EAST JAVA , before midnight , and one of Plantilla:Convert .3. 2 .3. m .3. ft in height in the MOLUCCA ISLANDS. The total death-toll has been estimated at around 4 ,600 [22]. . ..

..

The eruption column reached the STRATOSPHERE , an altitude of more than 43&nbsp ;km (140 ,000&nbsp ;ft). [6]. The coarser ash particles fell 1 to 2 weeks after the eruptions , but the finer ash particles stayed in the ATMOSPHERE from a few months up to a few years at an altitude of Plantilla:Convert .3. 10 .3. - .3. 30 .3. km .3. ft .3. abbr=on. [4]. Longitudinal winds spread these fine particles around the globe , creating optical phenomena. Prolonged and brilliantly colored sunsets and twilights were frequently seen in LONDON , England between 28 June and 2 July 1815 and 3 September and 7 October 1815. [4]. The glow of the twilight sky typically appeared orange or red near the horizon and purple or pink above. ..

..

The estimated number of deaths varies depending on the source. Zollinger (1855) puts the number of direct deaths at 10 ,000 , probably caused by pyroclastic flows. On Sumbawa island , there were 38 ,000 deaths due to starvation , and another 10 ,000 deaths occurred due to disease and hunger on LOMBOK island. [23]. Petroeschevsky (1949) estimated about 48 ,000 and 44 ,000 people were killed on Sumbawa and Lombok , respectively. [24]. Several authors use Petroeschevsky's figures , such as Stothers (1984) , who cites 88 ,000 deaths in total. [4]. However , Tanguy (( et al. )) . (1998) claimed Petroeschevsky's figures to be unfounded and based on untraceable references. [7]. Tanguy revised the number solely based on two credible sources , q.e. , Zollinger , who himself spent several months on Sumbawa after the eruption , and RAFFLES's notes. [18]. Tanguy pointed out that there may have been additional victims on BALI and EAST JAVA because of FAMINE and disease. Their estimate was 11 ,000 deaths from direct volcanic effects and 49 ,000 by post-eruption famine and epidemic diseases. [7]. Oppenheimer (2003) stated a modified number of at least 71 ,000 deaths in total , as seen in Table I below. [6]. ..

..

The 1815 eruption released SULFUR into the STRATOSPHERE , causing a global climate anomaly. Different methods have estimated the ejected sulfur mass during the eruption: the PETROLOGICAL method ; an optical depth measurement based on ANATOMICAL observations ; and the POLAR ICE CORE sulfate concentration method , using cores from GREENLAND and ANTARCTICA. The figures vary depending on the method , ranging from 10 to 120 million tons S. [6]. ..

..

In the spring and summer of 1816 , a persistent (( dry fog )) was observed in the northeastern UNITED STATES. The fog reddened and dimmed the sunlight , such that sunspots were visible to the naked eye. Neither wind nor rainfall dispersed the "fog". It was identified as a (( stratospheric sulfate aerosol veil )) . [6]. In summer 1816 , countries in the NORTHERN HEMISPHERE suffered extreme weather conditions , dubbed the (( YEAR WITHOUT A SUMMER )) . Average global temperatures decreased about 0.4–0.7&nbsp ;°C (0.7–1.3&nbsp ;°F) , [4]. enough to cause significant agricultural problems around the globe. On 4 June 1816 , frosts were reported in CONNECTICUT , and by the following day , most of NEW ENGLAND was gripped by the cold front. On 6 June 1816 , snow fell in ALBANY , NEW YORK , and DENNYSVILLE , MAINE. [6]. Such conditions occurred for at least three months and ruined most agricultural crops in North America. Canada experienced extreme cold during that summer. Snow Plantilla:Convert .3. 30 .3. cm .3. in deep accumulated near QUEBEC CITY from 6 to 10 June 1816. ..

..

1816 was the second coldest year in the northern hemisphere since Ce 1400 , after 1601 following the 1600 HUAYNAPUTINA eruption in PERU. [19]. The 1810s are the coldest decade on record , a result of Tambora's 1815 eruption and other suspected eruptions somewhere between 1809 and 1810 (see sulfate concentration figure from ICE CORE data). The surface temperature anomalies during the summer of 1816 , 1817 and 1818 were −0.51 , −0.44 and −0.29&nbsp ;°C , respectively. [19]. As well as a cooler summer , parts of Europe experienced a stormier winter. ..

..

This pattern of climate anomaly has been blamed for the severity of TYPHUS EPIDEMIC in southeast Europe and the eastern MEDITERRANEAN between 1816 and 1819. [6]. Much LIVESTOCK died in New England during the winter of 1816–1817. Cool temperatures and heavy rains resulted in failed harvests in the UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND. Families in WALES traveled long distances as refugees , begging for food. Famine was prevalent in north and southwest Ireland , following the failure of WHEAT , OAT and POTATO harvests. The crisis was severe in Germany , where food prices rose sharply. Due to the unknown cause of the problems , demonstrations in front of grain markets and bakeries , followed by RIOTS , ARSON and LOOTING , took place in many European cities. It was the worst famine of the 19th century. [6]. ..

..

(==) Archaeological work (==) .. (( See TAMBORA (LOST CULTURE) for details about 2004 work on exploring for villages and people lost at the time of the major eruption. )) ..

..

(==) Ecosystem (==) .. A scientific team led by a SWISS BOTANIST , Heinrich Zollinger , arrived on Sumbawa in 1847. [27]. Zollinger's mission was to study the eruption scene and its effects on the local ECOSYSTEM. He was the first person to climb to the summit after the eruption. It was still covered by smoke. As Zollinger climbed up , his feet sank several times through a thin surface crust into a warm layer of powder-like SULFUR. Some vegetation had re-established itself and a few trees were observed on the lower slope. A (( CASUARINA )) forest was noted at Plantilla:Convert .3. 2200 .3. - .3. 2550 .3. m .3. ft .3. abbr=on. [28]. Several (( IMPERATA CYLINDRICA )) GRASSLANDS were also found. ..

..

Rehabitation of the mountain began in 1907. A COFFEE plantation was started in the 1930s on the northwestern slope of the mountain , in the village of Pekat. [29]. A dense RAIN FOREST , dominated by the pioneering tree , (( Duabanga moluccana )) , had grown at an altitude of Plantilla:Convert .3. 1000 .3. - .3. 2800 .3. m .3. ft .3. abbr=on. [29]. It covers an area up to 80 ,000&nbsp ;hectares (800&nbsp ;km2). The rain forest was explored by a Dutch team , led by Koster and de Voogd in 1933. [29]. From their accounts , they started their journey in a "fairly barren , dry and hot country" , and then they entered "a mighty jungle" with "huge , majestic forest giants". At Plantilla:Convert .3. 1100 .3. m .3. ft , they entered a MONTANE forest. Above Plantilla:Convert .3. 1800 .3. m .3. ft , they found (( DODONAEA VISCOSA )) dominated by (( Casuarina )) trees. On the summit , they found sparse (( ANAPHALIS VISCIDA )) and (( WAHLENBERGIA )) . ..

..

In 1896 , 56 species of birds were found , including the CRESTED WHITE-EYE. [30]. Twelve further species were found in 1981. Several other zoological surveys followed , and found other bird species on the mountain , resulting in over 90 bird species discovered on Mount Tambora. YELLOW-CRESTED COCKATOOS , (( ZOOTHERA )) THRUSHES , HILL MYNAS , GREEN JUNGLEFOWL and RAINBOW LORIKEETS are hunted for the cagebird trade by the local people. ORANGE-FOOTED SCRUBFOWL are hunted for food. This bird exploitation has resulted in a decline in the bird population. The Yellow-crested Cockatoo is nearing extinction on Sumbawa island. [30]. ..

..

Since 1972 , a COMMERCIAL LOGGING COMPANY has been operating in the area , which poses a large threat to the rain forest. The logging company holds a TIMBER-cutting concession for an area of 20 ,000&nbsp ;hectares (200&nbsp ;km2) , or 25 % of the total area. [29]. Another part of the rain forest is used as a HUNTING ground. In between the hunting ground and the logging area , there is a designated WILDLIFE RESERVE where DEER , WATER BUFFALOS , WILD PIGS , BATS , FLYING FOXES , and various species of REPTILES and BIRDS can be found. [29]. ..

..

(==) Monitoring (==) .. Indonesia's population has been increasing rapidly since the 1815 eruption. As of 2006 , the population of Indonesia has reached 222 million people , [31]. of which 130 million are concentrated on JAVA. [32]. A VOLCANIC ERUPTION as large as the Tambora 1815 eruption would cause catastrophic devastation with more fatalities. Therefore , volcanic activity in Indonesia is continuously monitored , including that of Mount Tambora. SEISMIC ACTIVITY in Indonesia is monitored by the DIRECTORATE OF VULCANOLOGY AND GEOLOGICAL HAZARD MITIGATION , Indonesia. The monitoring post for Mount Tambora is located at Doro Peti village. [33]. They focus on seismic and TECTONIC activities by using a SEISMOGRAPH. Since the 1880 eruption , there has been no significant increase in seismic activity. [34]. However , monitoring is continuously performed inside the caldera , especially around the parasite cone Doro Api Toi. ..

..

The directorate has defined a hazard MITIGATION MAP for Mount Tambora. Two zones are declared: the dangerous zone and the cautious zone. [33]. The dangerous zone is an area that will be directly affected by an eruption: pyroclastic flow , lava flow and other pyroclastic falls. This area , including the caldera and its surroundings , covers up to Plantilla:Convert .3. 58.7 .3. km2 .3. acre. Habitation of the dangerous zone is prohibited. The cautious zone includes areas that might be indirectly affected by an eruption: LAHAR flows and other pumice stones. The size of the cautious area is Plantilla:Convert .3. 185 .3. km2 .3. acre , and includes PASANGGRAHAN , DORO PETI , RAO , LABUAN KENANGA , GUBU PONDA , KAWINDANA TOI and Hoddo villages. A river , called GUWU , at the southern and northwest part of the mountain is also included in the cautious zone. [33]. ..
