Volcanoes and Extinctions with History Daily

About this episode

Lindsay Graham from History Daily explores the human side of two topics we often discuss on the show: extinction and volcanic eruptions. • On June 3, 1844, after becoming collector’s items for being a rare species, the last pair of great auks is killed by fishermen. • On August 26, 1883, a volcano explodes on the island of Krakatoa, sparking one of the deadlest natural disasters in history.
