The climate-altering eruption came from the Zavaritskii volcano on an uninhabited island in the Pacific that once hosted a Soviet submarine base, according to a new study

An unknown volcano erupted so explosively in 1831 that it cooled Earth’s climate. Now, nearly 200 years later, scientists have identified the “mystery volcano.” The eruption was one of the most powerful of the 19th century,

The location of a giant volcanic eruption in 1831 has eluded scientists for nearly 200 years, but now they have solved the mystery.

Scientists have identified the “mystery volcano” that erupted in 1831 and cooled Earth’s climate. They have linked it to an island volcano in the northwest Pacific. A winter storm watch has been upgraded to a warning as the weather looms. The latest snow predictions.

A team of researchers have helped solve the mystery over a volcanic eruption that caused famines and crop failures around the world, almost 200 years ago.

Researchers from the University of St Andrews finally located the origin of the massive 1831 volcano eruption that caused global cooling.

While scientists have known that the major climate event reported during this period was caused by volcanic activity, the exact identity and location of the volcano remained a mystery – until now. A new study published in the journal PNAS found the Zavaritskii volcano on the remote,

In 1831, the Earth shuddered. A massive volcano erupted with such ferocity that it dimmed the skies and cooled the planet. Crops failed, famine spread, and the Northern Hemisphere entered a climate-altered reality.
