| - | Located in England, this VEI 8 eruption took place at the end of the Ordovician, when some 85% of all life on earth went extinct with a rapid advance and retreat of glaciers. How much Scafell affected the glacial advance and retreat is currently unknown, as Gondwana was also drifting over the South Pole at that time, forming ice caps and sequestering global water. | + | Located in England, the Scafell Eruption (VEI 8) took place at the end of the Ordovician, when some 85% of all life on earth went extinct with a rapid advance and retreat of glaciers.

A supernova has been fingered as a potential culprit, as well. |
