List of large Holocene volcanic eruptions

Satellite images of the 15 January 2022 eruption of Hunga Tonga-Hunga Haʻapai

This is a list of volcanoes that have had large explosive eruptions during the Holocene (since about 11,650 years Before Present), with a volcanic explosivity index (VEI) of 5 or higher, or a plume height of at least 30 km. 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: the most recent was the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora.

Notes

  1. ↑ Similar in scale to Mount St. Helens in 1980.[10][11]
  2. ↑ At least three different volcanic eruptions contributed to the sulfate spike[16]
  3. ↑ May have triggered the Little Ice Age[25]
  4. ↑ Radical and far-ranging global effects. At least three separate eruptions contributed to the sulfate spike and climatic impact.
  5. ↑ Sources give either ±5 or ±10
  6. ↑ First definite record of a volcanic eruption written by Pliny the Younger in 79 AD.
  7. ↑ 70–80 DRE[39]
