The last time the most terrifying volcano erupted was in 1815, killing the lives of 90,000 people in the region. At the same time, the "Assassin" is also the culprit causing a volcanic winter, destroying crops and causing the worst famine of the 19th century. The bad news is that it may be coming back.

The official name of the "Assassin" is Mount Tambora , a high volcano peak located on Sumbawa Island, Indonesia. Although it is not the most powerful volcanic eruption in human history, the number of casualties is direct and indirect because Tambora is the largest.

In April 1815, all life on Sumbawa Island was wiped out. Trees were rooted and thrown into the sea with ash, creating a "drift" of up to 3 miles long. The volcanic eruption also brought tsunamis to the nearby islands. The number of casual and indirect casualties because Tambora is the largest in history.

Mount Tambora crater

Ash ashes and volcanic dust rise, forming a column of smoke up to 43km high, penetrating into the atmosphere. Sunlight is blocked, making the global climate change. A series of natural disasters occurred later throughout the Northern Hemisphere. In 1816 there was absolutely no summer. Cold temperatures cause crops and pets to die together. America encountered frozen scenes and heavy snow in the middle of July.

According to experts, many signs that Mount Tambora is ready to destroy again. A series of recent earthquakes shocked the island of Sumbawa. Columns of dust have begun to form on craters and are "climbing high".

Indonesian authorities had to evacuate the entire population within a 2-mile radius. However, most people know very well the horrific story of 1815 so they evacuated before an order from the Government. Even residents living in dangerous areas were frightened to evacuate to other areas.

No one is sure whether the 1815 tragedy will repeat. Geologist Jelle de Boer identified the big boom as in 1815 that took hundreds of years to accumulate and Tambora's recent activities could be "early stage rebirth" only.
