“…The pronounced cooling known as the Little Ice Age occurred from around 1300-1850CE. This period contains a lot of evidence of explosive volcanic activity, including the massive tropical erruption of Tambora, Indonesia, in 1816, known as the ‘year without a summer’ in the northern hemisphere. There is evidence of the expansion of glaciers in the European Alps and the Southern Alps of New Zealand from the mid-seventeenth to the mid-nineteenth centuries. Very cold conditions resulted in historical reports of frost fairs and ice skating on the River Thames in England and the Pompenburg canal in The Netherlands. Our team’s work with historical records from south-eastern Australia also provides fascinating accounts of snow falling in the coastal, low-elevation cities of Sydney and Melbourne during the 1830s.” Gergis, Sunburnt Country…, MUP, 2018, p. 152 - 53
