Скачать или смотреть The Day Krakatoa SHOOK The World

The eruption of Krakatoa in 1883 is one of the most catastrophic volcanic events in recorded history. On August 26-27, 1883, Krakatoa, a volcanic island in Indonesia, erupted with such force that it generated one of the loudest sounds ever recorded, heard as far as 3,000 miles away. The explosion was so intense that it destroyed most of the island and caused massive tsunamis, with waves reaching up to 120 feet high, devastating coastal areas and killing more than 36,000 people.

The eruption sent massive amounts of ash and volcanic gases into the atmosphere, which spread globally, causing vivid sunsets and a significant drop in global temperatures. The aftereffects were felt for years, as the ash cloud circled the earth, creating an impact on weather patterns.

The eruption also left a caldera, which eventually gave rise to a new island, Anak Krakatoa, which means "Child of Krakatoa." This new island remains volcanically active today. The Krakatoa eruption not only reshaped the region geographically but also left a profound legacy in terms of scientific study and global awareness of volcanic hazards.
