A mystery eruption, solved?

Uncovering an eruption that caused global temperatures to drop took geologic detective work.

Ice Core Records Shed Light on a Volcanic Mystery - Eos
By analyzing sulfur and volcanic ash entrained in ice cores, researchers pinpointed a caldera in the remote Kuril Islands as the site of an unidentified 19th century eruption.

You'd think that a volcanic eruption powerful enough to cool the climate would be easy to find. But for nearly 200 years scientists have searched for the "mystery volcano" that erupted in 1831. Recently, ash and debris in ice cores led researchers to a likely candidate in the Kuril Islands 🧪

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 Ocean.
