Mt. Laki erupted in 1783 in Iceland. The eruption lasted a total of eight months killing live stock and crops by acid in the grass which the animals would eat and contaminating the crops the citizens would eat. The only thing the citizens died from was lack of food and starvation. The eruption cooled the northern hemisphere 1 degree celsius. This was caused by 80 Mt of sulfuric acid being forced into the atmosphere.
