Since 79 AD, Vesuvius has produced one of the best-documented series of volcanic tsunamis in recorded history. Volcanic activity of Vesuvius (located in Italy) has propagated more than 10 separate tsunamis events! While the eruption event of 79 AD, which killed thousands and destroyed the cities of Pompei and Herculaneum among others, is the most well-known this was not the worst tsunami-inducing event of Vesuvius. The worst of these documented tsunamis followed the eruption of December, 1631, in which waves crashed ashore three times damaging and destroying many boats along the coastline. While this tsunami may have been triggered by pyroclastic flows entering the sea Vesuvius’ proximity from the water makes volcanic earthquakes a more likely cause.
The third most devastating volcanogenic tsunami to strike Japan occurred in 1640 following the eruption of Mt Komagatake on the island of Hokkaido, Japan. During the early stages of volcanic eruption the summit of Komagatake collapsed causing a large debris avalanche . This avalanche plummeted into the sea creating a tsunami which left behind deposits 8.5m above sea level at locations 40 km from the mountain, killing over 700 people.
The Oshima-Oshima event near the island of Hokkaido is Japan’s second most destructive volcanic tsunami . Deposits from the Oshima-Oshima tsunami have been found over 5m high in places on the Oshima Peninsula over 50 km from the eruptive site. Records show that 1,467 people lost their lives as a result of the event, which was likely caused by volcanic earthquakes accompanying the 1741 eruption .

The largest known volcanic eruption of the last 200 years, that of Tambora on Sumbawa Island, Indonesia, occurred in 1815. Enormous volumes of pyroclastic flow followed by caldera collapse created an up to 10m wall of water that devastated the Indonesian shoreline. While the eruption (and aftermath) of Tambora has been credited with the loss of more than 71,000 lives, as many as 10,000 of those are attributed to the resulting tsunami .
