26 Aug 1883 Jahr - Krakatoa

Beschreibung:

The eruption of Krakatoa in August of 1883 was one of the most deadly volcanic eruptions of modern history. It is estimated that more than 36,000 people died. The island collapsed under the sea into the magma chamber, explosions sent as much as 5 cubic miles of rock fragments into the air. Much of the remaining island sank into a caldera or volcanic crater, about 3.8 miles wide. The Krakatau eruption spawned a pyroclastic flow.
