    The Middle Bronze Age Cold Epoch was a period of unusually cold climate in the North Atlantic region from around 1800 BC to 1500 BC, followed by a warmer Bronze Age Optimum. During this cold period, a series of severe volcanic eruptions occurred, including eruptions of Mount Vesuvius around 1660 BC, Mount Aniakchak around 1645 BC, and the Thera eruption around 1620 BC.

    Cold Epoch

    The Middle Bronze Age Cold Epoch was a period of unusually cold climate in the North Atlantic
    region that lasted about from 1800 BC to 1500 BC.[1][2] It was followed by the Bronze Age
    Optimum (1500—900 BC).

    Greenland ice sheet temperatures interpreted with 18O isotope from 6 ice cores (Vinther, B., et al., 2009)

    During the Middle Bronze Age Cold Epoch, a series of severe volcanic eruptions occurred,
    including Mount Vesuvius (Avellino eruption, about 1660 BC),[3] Mount Aniakchak (about 1645
    BC),[4] and Thera (Minoan eruption, about 1620 BC).[5]
