Description
Teide is a stratovolcano capped by the Las Canadas caldera. The caldera is 7-12 miles (12-20 km) in diameter and partial filled by Montana Blanca, Pico Viejo (which has a large explosion crater), and Pico de Teide. Pico de Teide and other vents of Teide have erupted several times since the island was settled in 1402. The most recent eruption was in 1909. It lasted only ten days, producing lava flows that caused some damage

EARTH Indonesia -- 03 Jun 2009 -- Mount Tambora Volcano, Sumbawa Island in Indonesia is featured in this image photographed by a crew member on the International Space Station. On April 10, 1815 the Tambora volcano produced the largest eruption in history. An estimated 150 cubic kilometers of tephra -- exploded rock and ash -- was produced, with ash from the eruption recognized at least 1,300 kilometers away to the northwest. While the April 10 eruption was catastrophic, historical records and geological analysis of eruption deposits indicate that the volcano had been active between 1812 and 1815. Enough ash was input into the atmosphere from the April 10 eruption to reduce incident sunlight on Earth's surface and cause global cooling, resulting in the 1816 "year without a summer". This detailed photograph depicts the summit caldera of the volcano. The huge caldera -- six kilometers in diameter and 1,100 meters deep -- formed when Tambora's estimated 4,000 meter-high peak was removed, and the magma chamber below emptied, during the April 10 eruption. Today the crater floor is occupied by an ephemeral fresh-water lake, recent sedimentary deposits, and minor lava flows and domes emplaced during the 19th and 20th centuries. Layered tephra deposits are visible along the northwestern crater rim. Active fumaroles, or steam vents, are still present within the caldera. In 2004 scientists discovered the remains of a village and two adults buried under approximately three meters of ash in a gully
