Terrible: Explosion of the belly of a supervolcano causes Iceland's volcano to collapse

Human civilization remains vulnerable to volcanic eruptions. For example, the moderate eruption of Fagradalsfjall volcano in Iceland in 2021 was responsible for the total disruption of air traffic in Europe for several days.

The largest eruptions known in human history ejected enormous volumes of volcanic material, ranging from 25 to 150 km3, and caused serious worldwide climate changes.

Even greater eruptions that have spewed out more than 1000 km3 of magma rock and volcanic gases into the atmosphere have occurred in the recent geological past . The magma rock and volcanic gases of such supereruptions covered huge areas, polluted the atmosphere, and caused notable climate changes throughout the world with marked effects on the biosphere.
