List of large historical volcanic eruptions
This is a list of volcanoes that have had large explosive eruptions during the Holocene or in recorded history. To date, there have been no eruptions with a confirmed VEI of 8 in the Holocene, and only a few VEI-7 eruptions are thought to have occurred during this time.
List

Infrared image of Mount Tambora, Sumbawa Island, Indonesia, from Space Shuttle Endeavour. The 1815 eruption that created the caldera is the largest volcanic eruption in recorded history as well as one of the largest volcanic events in the past 10,000 years and the deadliest volcanic event in recorded history killing upwards more than 100,000 to more than 200,000 people (directly and indirectly). This event was the only VEI-7 eruption that has been directly observed in recorded history.

Color infrared view of Rinjani Volcano on the island of Lombok, May 1992. The eastern part of the island of Bali to the west is visible in the top right corner, separated from Lombok by the Lombok Strait; the Alas Strait and the western part of the island of Sumbawa are visible on the bottom left. The 1257 eruption is one of the largest volcanic eruptions in the past 10,000 years (comparable with the 1815 Tambora eruption), and this may have helped trigger the Little Ice Age. The death toll from this eruption ranges between 15,000 to 20,000 due to post-eruption famine and diseases.

6-7 | Unknown source | Unknown | 535 CE | David Keys, Ken Wohletz, and others have postulated that a violent volcanic eruption, possibly of Krakatoa, in 535 was responsible for the global climate changes of 535–536.[7] Keys explores what he believes to be the radical and far-ranging global effects of such a putative 6th-century eruption in his book Catastrophe: An Investigation into the Origins of the Modern World. This eruption was believed to have been even more violent than Krakatoa's 1883 eruption, and also the one that created Krakatoa's original caldera, which resulted in the creation of Verlaten Island and Lang Island.[8] However, there are other explanations for the climate change, including an eruption of Ilopango in El Salvador, in Central America. | ||
