It's still an active volcanic system, so the more we know about it the better—but the exact age of that eruption has proved to be a puzzle for scientists. The most precise dating methods had pegged it as happening in or close to the year 232 . A recent Nature Communications study, using a rather clever dating method, has revealed that this devastating eruption occurred potentially hundreds of years more recently. https://gizmodo.com/a-supervolcanos-colossal-eruption-has-been-lying-about-1829708039/amp „The Weberman „ www.bbqundfun.de
