In response to Year without a Summer, written by Ken on May 28, 1998 at 08:08:32

To L and T indexshe doesn't give us the Year without a summer, either. It was the result of a volcanic explosion in Indonesia, far bigger than Krakatoa (Mt. St. Helens & Mt. Pinatubo don't even measure on that scale), that dumped cubic miles of dust & aerosols into the atmosphere.

I found the name of the volcano. It was Sumbawa and its eruption left 50,000 dead.
