In 1815, the eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia unleashed a cataclysmic force ten times greater than that of Krakatoa. The deafening roar was so intense that sailors 1,200 miles away believed they were under attack. This monumental event led to an ash cloud that darkened skies worldwide and caused global temperatures to plummet.
The aftermath resulted in what is now known as the “Year Without a Summer,” with snow falling in New England during June and widespread crop failures across Europe leading to starvation. Historians argue this disaster ignited revolutions and even inspired Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Comment below if no summer blew your mind!
