List of volcanic eruptions 1500–2000

This is a list of notable volcanic eruptions in the 16th to 20th centuries with a Volcanic explosivity index (VEI) of 4 or higher, and smaller eruptions that resulted in significant damage or fatalities. Note that there may be uncertainties to dates with historical eruptions, and there are likely to be many large eruptions that have not been identified.

Large eruptions (VEI of 4 or higher)

20th century

VEI Volcano Country Year Fatalities Notes
4 Ulawun[1] Papua New Guinea 2000
4 Mount Tavurvur[2] Papua New Guinea 1994 5 Tavurvur, and nearby Vulcan, erupted and devastated Rabaul; however, due to planning for such a catastrophe, the townsfolk were prepared and only five people were killed. One of the deaths was caused by lightning, a feature of volcanic ash clouds.[3]
4 Láscar[4] Chile 1993
4 Mount Spurr[5] Alaska, United States 1992
5 Mount Hudson[6] Chile 1991
6 Mount Pinatubo[7] Philippines 1991 847 Second largest eruption of the 20th century, and largest stratospheric disturbance since the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa. Many deaths were caused by complication of the arrival of Typhoon Yunya.
4 Kelud[8] Indonesia 1990 32 A strong and explosive eruption in early February 1990 produced a 12 km high column of tephra, heavy tephra falls and several pyroclastic flows. 32 people were killed, over 500 homes and 50 schools were destroyed and many others were damaged.[9]
4 Klyuchevskaya Sopka[10] Russia 1987
4 Chikurachki[11] Russia 1986
4 Augustine[12] Alaska, United States 1986
4 Mount Colo[13] Indonesia 1983

5 Mount St. Helens[21] Washington, United States 1980 57 Most deadly and economically destructive volcanic eruption in the history of the United States. Ash from the eruption reached all the way to Montana. Casualties were limited, owing to the evacuation of the surrounding forest, with exception of loggers who did not depart in time; incinerated in large forest fire that was a result of one of seventeen pyroclastic flows.[22] Sound of eruption could be heard 700 miles (1127 km) away; entire flank of mountain collapsed. Noted for extremely large lahar that flooded the banks of the Toutle River and destroyed several bridges.[23]

The volcano had been dormant for over a century until 1914.[59] Almost all residents had left the island in the previous days; several large earthquakes had warned them that an eruption was imminent. Initially, the eruption was very explosive, generating eruption columns and pyroclastic flows, but after a very large earthquake on 13 January 1914, which killed 58 people, it became effusive, generating a large lava flow.[59]

6 Krakatoa[79] Indonesia 1883 36,417 The 1883 eruption of Krakatoa was one of the loudest explosions ever recorded, and was heard at least 3,000 miles (4,800 km) away.

Perboewatan (410 ft) and Danan (1,480 ft) were destroyed during the eruption, and Rakata (2,667 ft) was half destroyed and the surviving half remains above sea level.
