The Year Without a Summer

In 1816, the world experienced a bizarre and terrifying phenomenon—there was no summer. Snow fell in June, crops failed, and temperatures remained freezing even in July. The cause? A massive volcanic eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia the previous year, which sent so much ash into the atmosphere that it blocked out the sun. The global climate disruption led to food shortages and inspired dark literary works, including Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein".

Could you imagine living in a year where summer never came?
