This is a list of volcanoes that have had large explosive eruptions during the Holocene (since about 11,650 years Before Present), with a volcanic explosivity index (VEI) of 5 or higher, or a plume height of at least 30 km. To date, there have been no eruptions with a confirmed VEI of 8 in the Holocene; and only a few VEI-7 eruptions are thought to have occurred during this time: the most recent was the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora. This is not a complete list.

Notes

  1. Similar in scale to Mount St. Helens in 1980. [13] [14]
  2. At least three different volcanic eruptions contributed to the sulfate spike [20]
  3. May have triggered the Little Ice Age [30]
  4. Radical and far-ranging global effects. At least three separate eruptions contributed to the sulfate spike and climatic impact.
  5. Sources give either ±5 or ±10
  6. First definite record of a volcanic eruption written by Pliny the Younger in 79 AD.
  7. 70–80 DRE [43]
  8. 61 DRE [44]
  9. 10–100 DRE [46]
