The Year Without a Summer: When the Sky Went Dark

<p>Snow in June. Frost in July. A dim red sun behind a haze that wouldn't clear. In eighteen sixteen, summer simply didn't come — and the cause was a mountain that had exploded on the far side of the world a year before.</p><p>This episode follows the eruption of Tambora and the global winter it triggered: the failed harvests and famine, the disease that followed the hunger, and the strange ripples — from the birth of the bicycle to a dark, rainy holiday that gave Mary Shelley her monster.</p><p>New dark story every day. Follow Six Feet of History wherever you listen.</p><p>#History #DarkHistory #HistoryPodcast #Science #TrueHistory / #YearWithoutASummer #Tambora #Frankenstein #Volcano #SixFeetOfHistory </p><p>Year Without a Summer, eighteen sixteen, Tambora, volcanic winter, famine, Mary Shelley, Frankenstein, climate history, dark history, history podcast, natural disaster, true history, global cooling, crop failure, Lake Geneva, Byron, eruption, Six Feet of History, eighteen hundred and froze to death, weather</p>
