Mt. Tambora In Indonesia
The Legend of Mt. Tambora in Indonesia:
A man went to visit the Kingdom of Tambora and stopped by in a mosque to pray. The king was also incidentally in the mosque and brought along two dogs. Unknowingly, the visitor complained about having dogs in the mosque and found it offensive. Later that day, words got to the king about the visitor's complaints. The king invited the latter to dinner. After both had finished their dinner, the king informed the visitor it was the dog he found in the mosque he ordered slaughtered for their meal. Enraged that the king served him dog, the visitor condemned the king and called him evil. To this, the king ordered for the capture of the visitor and his execution. The guards did as the king told and brought their captive on top of Mt. Tambora in Indonesia. After killing him, the guards threw his body off into the volcano's crater. While descending from the mountain, Mt. Tambora in Indonesia slowly showed signs of restlessness and began erupting. After a couple years of mild eruptions, the volcano finally proved its fierceness and swiped the kingdom as well as the thousands of inhabitants…
Mt. Tambora lies on the island of Sumbawa in Indonesia. At sea level, this stratovolcano has a diameter of 60 kilometers, and estimated to have been rising to 4,000 meters prior to its last major eruption on the 5th of April 1815. The mountain spew ashes and tons of sulphur dioxide gas that rose as high as 25 kilometers to the sky. The lava filled a total volume of 50 to 100 cubic kilometers and as far as 1300 km away. Much like the effects of Mt. Pinatubo in the Philippines in 1991 and the volcanic eruption in Laki, Iceland in 1783, Mt. Tambora in Indonesia blanketed the planet with ashes and decreased the global temperature by 3 degrees. This period was considered the "year without a summer". Several months following the eruption, the global climate changed dramatically resulting to stormy weather, crop failures, and terrible harvests between 1816-17.
Prior to the eruption, it was said that around 140,000 inhabitants thrived on the island of Sumbawa. However, as magnificent as the eruption might have been it's appalling to note that the eruption resulted to the loss of tens of thousands of lives and the extensive destruction of the villages and crops. Only the tiny Tempo community and its 40 inhabitants were left on the peninsula.
The once lofty and lopsided summit of Mt. Tambora in Indonesia had been carved off after the eruption leaving a 6-kilometer in diameter caldera, which is 1,110m deep. At sea level, the summit rises to about 2,850m from the highest point.
Mt. Tambora in Indonesia is one of the most famous volcanoes "with an attitude" in the world. The mountain as well as the island to where it lies lures thousands of visitors each year and is considered to be among the top tourist destinations in Indonesia.
