The Taupo eruption, which occurred around 232 AD, is often considered the greatest volcanic eruption in recorded history due to its immense scale and impact. It released an estimated 1,000 cubic kilometers of material, significantly affecting global climate and causing widespread ash fall across large areas of the Southern Hemisphere. The eruption's aftermath led to long-lasting ecological and societal changes, making it a pivotal event in both geological and human history. Its sheer magnitude and consequences justify its title as the "greatest" eruption.

Lake Taupo is the remains of a volcanic crater, now filled with water. The most recent eruption was about AD 200.
Lake Taupo.
It happened when no one lived in new zealand
Lake Taupo fills the caldera of what is one of the world's great volcanoes. The last major eruption was about AD 200, and is recorded in historic accounts from China, and Roman times. Before this eruption, it used to drain out into the Firth of Thames, but that outlet was blocked by the debris from the eruption.
Lake Taupo is a large lake filling the caldera left by the last eruption. It is an explosive volcano system, so there is no particular mountain.
