Laki, a volcanic fissure in Iceland, erupted violently between June 1783 and February 1784. This event led to catastrophic consequences, including the death of over 50% of Iceland's livestock and a devastating famine that claimed the lives of at least a fifth of the island's population. The eruption also caused a drop in global temperatures, impacting weather patterns across Europe and beyond.
