WHERE DID ALL THE FLOWERS GO?
The year 1816 earned the nickname "The year without a summer."
Temperatures were low enough to cause frost and even unprecedented snow during the summer in many countries.
The main reason was the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora in the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia)
-- one of the biggest volcanic eruptions in history.
The enormous amount of dust thrown up by the volcano blocked some of the Sun's rays,
causing temporary "Global Cooling" of around 5 degrees Fahrenheit (3 degrees Celsius).
