Discover the incredible story of the Zavaritskii Caldera, the "lost" volcano that changed the climate. In 1831, a massive volcanic eruption dimmed sunlight, caused weather disruptions, and even ...

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.

Scientists have tried for years to find the volcanic culprit, and a new study comparing polar ice shards with samples from the Zavaritskii volcano in the Kuril islands has found an exact match.

The eruption at Zavaritskii volcano created a nearly two-mile-wide caldera with layers of red, black and white from previous eruptive deposits. Oleg Dirksen In the summer of 1831, an enormous ...

A team of researchers have helped solve the mystery over a volcanic eruption that caused famines and crop failures around the world, almost 200 years ago.

Analysis of the ash deposits revealed a "perfect fingerprint match" that enabled Hutchison and colleagues to tie the 1831 eruption with the Zavaritskii volcano.

Zavaritskii volcano in the Kuril Islands was responsible for the mysterious 1831 volcanic eruption that cooled the climate and turned the sun different colors, a new study finds.

In 1831, a mystery eruption occurred, causing a 1°C drop in global temperatures only recently identified in a paper by ...

As detailed in a new study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, scientists say they've determined the culprit to be the Zavaritskii volcano on the extremely ...

Though the Zavaritskii volcano is remote, its eruption still had a significant global impact on climate with severe consequences for human populations, scientists noted.

Like Zavaritskii, many volcanoes worldwide are in isolated places and are poorly monitored, making it challenging to predict when and where the next large-magnitude eruption may strike, Hutchison ...
