Thanks, just doing a short Google search, it would seem that most are blaming Krakatoa or proto-Krakatoa for the world-wide chilling and darkening the Dark Ages.

Were the dark ages really dark?

I would say that this sounds like an ecological disaster. But that raises the question about how it could have happen. SUVs didn't exist yet.

There are also interesting weather phenomenon written during the time of the first new world explorers. One of the Conquistadors kept a diary and complained of the chilly mornings and frost on the ground. In Mexico! Likewise, Samuel Champlain writes that the mountains surrounding present day Lake Champlain were snow capped in summer. Neither the Adirondacks nor the Green Mountains rise anywhere near high enough to stay snow capped.
