Tsar Bomba: the largest nuclear bomb humanity tested, created a mushroom cloud 7-times higher that Mt. Everest
On 30 October 1961, the Soviet Union detonated the Tsar Bomba nuclear bomb over the Novaya Zemlya archipelago in northern Russia. To this day, this is the largest nuclear weapon detonated. The 27-tonne Soviet Tsar Bomba (king of bombs) was the most powerful weapon ever constructed.
