Rewatching Kelvin movie 2 (Into Darkness) — Is it ever explained why part of the Klingon homeworld has an uninhabitable zone that looks like it’s going through nuclear winter?

Most of Kelvin 2 was undercooked and relied on the other Star Trek 2 to carry the narrative. It would be unsurprising if there was no forethought put into why Qo'nos as uninhabitable regions other than "it sounds cool".

Possibly. If it’s not already established, I wonder if the backstory could be filled in later in an episode on one of the TV shows or something. Maybe they could tie it to whatever eventually blew up Praxis.

Other than that, I’ve read there’s active volcanos on Kronos, so perhaps that area with all the ash falling was once inhabited until an unexpected round of volcanic activity, like a giant Pompeii.
