Did volcanoes cause an ice age?

If the eruption was big enough it could block out the sun and causing the earth to cool. If you saw pictures of the recent Iceland volcanic eruption you could see how this could happen. Most likely the recent eruption will cause weather to changes around the world. One of the elements that is sent into the atmosphere is sulfur and sulfur reflects sunlight back so it doesn't reach the earth causing it to cool and changing weather.
