The Laki eruption and the French revolution.

Iceland is a volcanic island in the north Atlantic , and is one of the few places a mid ocean spreading ridge (where new crust is created and plates are pushed apart) emerges as land. You can stand with one foot on the European plate and the other on the American one. A huge eruption began on June 8 1783 next to the edifice of Lakagígar (part of the Grimsvotn complex), with lava fountains erupting up to 1400 metres high and an enormous ash and gas plume. They exploded from a 27 Km long complex of 135 fissures with cinder cones and craters dotted along the chain. An estimated 14 cubic kilometres of magma covering 1400 square kilometres emerged from the entrails of our planet, and spewed out for the next eight months. Grimsvotn also erupted from 1783-5, adding to the gases that cooled the climate and changed the course of European history.
