A sleeping giant, Mount Baekdu’s last major eruption was bigger than the Mt Tambora eruption of 1815, which triggered “The Year Without a Summer.” (Locals called it called it “Eighteen Hundred and Froze to Death.”)
That eruption, which took place about 969 ±20 AD, deposited tephra as far away as northern Japan, a distance of 1200 km (745 miles), and was one of the largest eruptions in the world in the past 10,000 years.
Mount Baegdu is on the verge of erupting, says geologist Yoon Seong-hyo from Pusan National University, who has been monitoring the 2,744 meter-high volcano with an electronic distance measurement device (EDM) for years.
