Bima is located approximately 75 kilometers (about 47 miles) from Mount Tambora on the island of Sumbawa in Indonesia. The distance may vary slightly depending on the specific route taken. Mount Tambora is known for its catastrophic eruption in 1815, which has had a lasting impact on the region.
The effects of the Mount Tambora eruption of 1815 were felt worldwide.
No, because Mount Tambora did erupt in 2011. It was however the largest eruption in recorded history.
The ash from the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora reached heights of about 43 km (27 miles) into the atmosphere. It is estimated that the ash was dispersed over a wide area, affecting the global climate and causing the "Year Without a Summer" in 1816.
For the 21st century, that would be Mount Merapi in Indonesia in 2010 so far.

Mount Tambora's eruption in April 1815 was one of the most powerful volcanic events in recorded history. The eruption ejected vast amounts of ash and volcanic gases into the atmosphere, affecting global climate and weather patterns. Ashfall was reported up to 1,000 kilometers (about 620 miles) away, and the resulting climatic effects, known as the "Year Without a Summer," caused widespread agricultural impacts across the Northern Hemisphere.

The largest eruption in recorded history was produced by Mount Tambora in 1815. Note, though, that far larger eruptions have occurred in prehistoric time.
