Category:VEI-8 eruptions

Volcanic eruptions that rated 8 on the volcanic explosivity index. Such eruptions release a tephra volume of at least 1,000 km3 (240 mi3) with annihilating long-term effects on the surrounding area and devastating short-term effects on global climate, leaving profound effects on the climate for years to come.

For smaller volcanic eruptions that have produced at least 100 km3 (24 mi3) of tephra at a time, see Category:VEI-7 eruptions.

No VEI-8 eruption has occurred in recent human history. The most recent such eruption is the Oruanui eruption that formed Lake Taupō, roughly 26,500 years before present.
