Mount Tambora and the Year Without a Summer

Mount Tambora is a large layered volcano located in Sumbawa Island, Indonesia. It is located about 210 miles north of Java Trench and is surrounded by oceanic crust. The current peak height is about 9,350 feet (Smithsonian Institute). The Sanggar Peninsula is in the southeastern part of the volcano and is part of Tambora. There are three cities, the two cities, Dompu and Clima, and Sanggar, Doro Peti and Pesanggrahan, Calabai near the hillside.

A large volcanic eruption in Indonesia shocked the world 200 years ago. When the mountain Tambora exploded, ash flew into the sky. Giant gas and rock slowly passed through the hillside and destroyed Tambora City. The ashes placed in the atmosphere spread to the northern hemisphere and left the earth in a year without summer. Volcanic eruption is a climate thermal card. There was no eruption showing the Tambora Mountains that peaked in April 1815. The explosion of Tambora and the tsunami they caused caused the deaths of some 92,000 people, including those who died for the explosion of livestock and the debris that killed the crops.

In the rainy summer of 1816, "the summerless year", the winter world of long and cold volcano caused by the eruption of Tambora volcano in 1815 was confined. 18 year old Mary Shelley and her lover (and later her husband) Percy By Shelhe visited Lord Byron at Villa Diodati in Lake Geneva, Switzerland. The summer weather was too cold to be able to enjoy the activities for outdoor vacation that was scheduled, so the group retired indoors until dawn. Sitting by the fireplace in Byron Villa, the company entertained itself by reading the German ghost stories translated into French in Fantasmagoriana, and then Byron writes them "everyone writes a ghost story" to place. I could not think of a story and the young Mary was worried: "Have you thought about the story? I was forced to respond to an unpleasant negative emotion every morning," I was asked. In the evening, the discussion was directed to the essence of the principle of life.
