Sumbawa lies in the Lesser Sunda Islands. This chain starts in Bali and ends in Tanimbar. In the middle you will find laid back Sumbawa Island. Indonesia is the country with most volcanoes is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire. 32 of Indonesia’s 147 volcanoes are in Lesser Sunda Islands
Here on the little known island of Sumbawa stands Mount Tambora , a majestic Satonda island with its marine lake in the middle of the island, as well as Sangeang Api standing still in the middle of blue sea
The Tambora Volcano eruption is the greatest eruption in the modern history after Toba Supervolcano in Sumatra Island, 75,000 years ago. The year 1816 was so cold that it snowed in New England in June and the period became known as “a year without a summer.”
