The year 1816 is famously known as the “year without a summer” due to the global climate anomalies caused by the eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia in 1815. The volcanic ash and gases ejected during the eruption caused significant atmospheric cooling, leading to unusual weather patterns and reduced temperatures in North America and Europe. Crops failed, livestock died, and famine ensued, making it one of the most severe agricultural crises of the 19th century.
