You might get a kick out of reading Simon Winchester's book "Krakatoa" which presents the possibility of a major eruption of Krakatoa volcano in 535 AD -- The atmospheric effects of the 1883 explosion were felt worldwide.

"The atmospheric effects of the 1883 explosion were felt worldwide." Yup. A ship ten miles from Krakatoa survived....it's also called the loudest sound ever heard by humans. The year with out summer.
