Lake Toba is located in the province of North Sumatra is one of Indonesia's pride lake. How not, with an area reaching 1.145 square kilometers, Lake Toba looks like a sea that is at an altitude of 900 meters above sea level. The lake is surrounded by pine forests, waterfalls and warm water baths located within the forest also adds tourist attraction to this lake Toba.

With so many places that make this attraction makes Lake Toba crowded tourists. However, before turning into a lake, Lake Toba was once a gigantic volcano. The ancient volcano that erupted some 74,000 years ago.

Toba ancient eruption at that time, is the largest and most deadly volcano eruption recorded in history.

Why is that? Mimin wants to take a small example of the impact of volcanic eruptions in Indonesia. When the volcano erupted some years ago, the impact of volcanic ash produced so many and thick that became disastrous for the area around Mount Merapi. the eruption of Mount Merapi a few years ago can be considered very small compared to the ancient Toba volcano eruption that even destroy itself when erupting.

The eruption of Mount Toba has the power of VEI 8 which is a very large number. Even this eruption almost destroyed human life on earth. Gutted man, how can it be? When erupted, the kingdoms around ancient Toba mountain destroyed by earthquakes, lava or magma that flows and a very high tsunami.

Not only that I, volcanic ash produced when erupted even to cover the sky most of the face of the earth and this is what almost destroyed human life. The thick volcanic ash causes a massive decrease in the earth's temperature and the earth has been in total darkness for 6 years. Because there is a decrease in temperature resulted in many people who lack food, causing many humans who died.

Many studies conducted by geologists or students to uncover the mystery of the former Toba volcano eruption around Lake Toba. Although many are working on the magnitude and impact of the current eruption, there is no possibility that there will be new research results that result in different facts with the results of research we know for now.

Associated with the research, a team of researchers from the University of Arizona who examined the impact of the eruption of Toba volcano drilling in Lake Malawi, East Africa. Researchers tried to drill and study the charcoal and vegetation environment due to the eruption. But during the first study, the research team did not find that the impact of the eruption did not have a major impact on environmental vegetation, particularly in the North African region.

Apart from all that, the author invites readers to always get closer to the creator. Seeing the disaster of what happened in the past is so horrible it should be able to make us realize that God's power is so great. Having seen only a few disasters of yore, does not rule out the possibility of a greater catastrophe in the future@
