Pretty images from far away (for most of us) ... but don't forget Laki volcano on Iceland led to two years without a summer harvest, and hence to the french revolution - these eruptions can have a big influence on history (future)...

It's just a volcano, how big can it be...?

opened a fissure about 2.8 kilometres long
