Wikipedia says there has never been more than 7 people per year reported killed by volcanic eruptions. 26*7= under 182 people out of a global population of billions

@oh Are you sure that’s the right column?

@Arinbjorn Yes

@oh In 2021, over 100 people died in volcanic eruptions. In 1985, over 20,000 died in one volcanic eruption.

@oh How did you come up with that number?

@NicoDelon Hard to come up with a reliable figure for the average number of deaths per year but it's clearly above seven.

@NicoDelon And if anyone wants to geek out: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s13617-017-0067-4

@Arinbjorn You’re right, that was a silly mistake on my part. This makes more sense.

@oh I was surprised myself how high the numbers actually are.
