Скачать или смотреть 1816: The Year Without a Summer | How a Volcano Changed the World

In 1816, the world faced one of the strangest disasters in recorded history. Snow fell in June. Frost came in July. Crops failed, famine spread, and desperate families fled their homes.

This was The Year Without a Summer — also known as Eighteen Hundred and Froze to Death.

But what caused this global crisis? A single volcanic eruption in Indonesia: Mount Tambora, which exploded in April 1815 in the most powerful eruption in modern history. The ash cloud spread worldwide, dimming the sun and plunging the Earth into a “volcanic winter.”

This documentary explores:

🌋 The eruption of Mount Tambora and the science of volcanic winters
❄️ The devastating effects on North America, Europe, and Asia
🍞 Food shortages, famine, riots, and migration in 1816
📖 The cultural impact — including the birth of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Lord Byron’s Darkness
🌍 The lasting lessons about climate, resilience, and humanity’s vulnerability to nature
