About this episode

Toba blew 70,000 years ago on Sumatra—the biggest eruption in about 100,000 years. The crater and active fissures remain. Krakatau 1883 then erased a joined island chain into scattered islets: a Tambora-style year without summer can happen again.

Again, if you look back in our past all the way, it was Tobas Super Vulcan. That was 70,000 years ago. And that was on Sumatra and Tobas. There's still a giant crater up there. Back to fissures all around it. That was the biggest one we've recorded in the last say 100,000 years. But if we get in, like, Tambora a year without a summer, you know, so just starting to, you know, let you know something's gone off here. Might go off again. So, Krakato, we're talking about 1883 eruption left. That was the islands. There were several islands that were together that made one larger island, all those volcanoes coming together and make a larger landmass. After 1883 eruption, boom, it's gone. And we get this, you know, satellite of islands.
