Laki

Laki refers to a significant volcanic eruption that occurred in Iceland from 1783 to 1784. It was one of the largest eruptions in recorded history, releasing vast amounts of lava and gases, particularly sulfur dioxide, into the atmosphere. This eruption led to severe air pollution and a phenomenon known as the "volcanic winter," which caused widespread climate change, food shortages, and loss of livestock in Iceland and beyond. The fallout affected Europe and North America, demonstrating the far-reaching impacts of volcanic activity on global weather and agriculture. Laki remains a notable event in the study of volcanology and climate change.
