Next time you think you have it hard, consider what life was like when a cataclysmic event shrouded part of the earth. Even after it ended, a decade of pain and suffering followed.
Despite countless human-caused nightmares throughout history, if historians have to pinpoint one year that would have been the worst to live through, it all goes back to a pair of volcanic eruptions.But then the skies went dark.
Jason Anderson, 42, takes pictures as the sun peeks through thick smoke generated by the Bobcat Fire in San Dimas, Calif., on Sept. 9, 2020. Hazy clouds of smoke from dozens of wildfires darkened the sky to an eerie orange glow over much of the West Coast that week, keeping street lights illuminated during the day and putting residents on edge.
In the wake of the climate-altering volcanic eruptions and darkened year of 536, McCormick said the situation was fatally ripe for the plague to wreak havoc. Using a laser to carve 120-micron slivers of ice from the core, scientists could analyze the element spikes and drops of different moments in history to line them up with disasters that helped better piece together our understanding of what shaped the world we live in today.
On top of that eruption, other studies conducted recently have suggested that there could have been more than one volcano responsible for that time period's tragedies.The other notable blast, researchers say, is believed to have been one of the strongest eruptions of the last 10,000 years, likely only comparable to the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora.
