Täpselt 236 aastat tagasi pühapäeval algas sündmuste jada, mis muutis elu Islandil tundmatuseni. Pühapäeva hommikul 8. juunil 1783. aastal purskas vulkaan Laki. Järgmise 8 kuu jooksul purskas vulkaani kraatrist laavat 600 ruutkilomeetri suurusele alale (võrdluseks, Tallinna pindala on 160 ruutkilomeetrit).
Samal ajal paiskus õhku palju mürgiseid gaase. Tegemist oli viimase 1000 aasta jooksul maailmas suuruselt teise vulkaanipurskega. Ainult Indoneesias 1815. aastal pursanud Mount Tamboran oli võimsam, vahendab BBC.
Pärast vulkaanipurset hukkus 50 000-st toonasest Islandi elanikust 10 000. Mürgine, väävliühendeid sisaldav suits tappis inimesi ka mujal Euroopas. Nii juhtus näiteks Suurbritannias, kus inimesed lämbusid mürkgaaside kätte. Gaaside mõju suurendas kuumalaine.
Suits vaibus alles sügiseks. Ent sellega katsumused ei lõppenud: pärast seda tuli viimase 250 aasta külmim talv. See oli seotud vulkaanipurskega, kuna väävel seob atmosfääris soojust.
Vulkaanipurskega seotud surmad polnud niivõrd seotud purske enda kui just keskkonnamõjudega. Saak hävis ja koduloomad surid. Inimesed jäid nälga.
The eruption that changed Iceland forever
A volcanic eruption in Iceland is continuing to ground flights in the UK and Europe, but 227 years ago a far more devastating eruption occurred wiping out a fifth of the island’s population – as well as tens of thousands across Europe..

Below is an extract from a web page. Evaluate whether the page has a high educational
value and could be useful in an educational setting for teaching from primary school to
grade school levels using the additive 5-point scoring system described below. Points are
accumulated based on the satisfaction of each criterion:
- Add 1 point if the extract provides some basic information relevant to educational top-
ics, even if it includes some irrelevant or non-academic content like advertisements and
promotional material.
- Add another point if the extract addresses certain elements pertinent to education but
does not align closely with educational standards. It might mix educational content with
non-educational material, offering a superficial overview of potentially useful topics, or
presenting information in a disorganized manner and incoherent writing style.
- Award a third point if the extract is appropriate for educational use and introduces key
concepts relevant to school curricula. It is coherent though it may not be comprehensive
or could include some extraneous information. It may resemble an introductory section of
a textbook or a basic tutorial that is suitable for learning but has notable limitations like
treating concepts that are too complex for grade school students.
- Grant a fourth point if the extract highly relevant and beneficial for educational purposes
for a level not higher than grade school, exhibiting a clear and consistent writing style. It
could be similar to a chapter from a textbook or a tutorial, offering substantial educational
content, including exercises and solutions, with minimal irrelevant information, and the
concepts aren’t too advanced for grade school students. The content is coherent, focused,
and valuable for structured learning.
- Bestow a fifth point if the extract is outstanding in its educational value, perfectly suited for
teaching either at primary school or grade school. It follows detailed reasoning, the writing
style is easy to follow and offers profound and thorough insights into the subject matter,
devoid of any non-educational or complex content.
