Eventually through extensive scientific research, it was discovered
that the exceptional cold was more than likely attributed to a violent
volcanic eruption by Mount Tambora in the year prior. In recent years
we have seen that particularly bad eruptions have had a similar
effect, yet rarely to the extent recorded in 1816.
There has been much written in history to testify the extreme hardship
that the cold brought to the world that year. Here in their tributary
album ‘1816’, The Frozen Vaults bring to our ears a glimpse of the
perishing chills that so many were subjected to over the course of the
year.
The Frozen Vaults are:
