The 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia was so powerful that it blocked sunlight for an entire year, causing global temperatures to drop by 3°C, killing crops worldwide and creating the 'Year Without a Summer' that led to widespread starvation; however, the volcanic ash in the atmosphere also created the most beautiful sunsets anyone had ever seen, and this unusual summer weather trapped Mary Shelley indoors, inspiring her to write Frankenstein.

One Volcano Made Summer Disappear Worldwide in 1816Added:
Did you know a volcano in Indonesia once made it snow in July in America? In 1815, Mount Tambora exploded so hard it blocked out the sun for an entire year.
Crops died everywhere. People starved, and the whole [music] planet got 3° colder. But here's the crazy part. Those weird dark skies created the most beautiful sunsets anyone [music] had ever seen. And when Mary Shelley got stuck inside during that freezing cold summer, she was so bored she decided to write a little story called Frankenstein. [music]
