1 ago 1883 ano - Krakatoa

Descrição:

Krakatoa is a volcano in the Sunda Strait between the islands of Java and Sumatra in the Indonesian province of Lampung. The volcano is part of a volcanic island group comprising four islands: two of which, Lang and Verlaten, are remnants of a previous volcanic edifice destroyed in eruptions long before the famous 1883 eruption; another, Rakata, is the remnant of a much larger island destroyed in the 1883 eruption. In 1927, a fourth island, Anak Krakatau, emerged from the caldera formed in 1883. There has been new eruptive activity since the late 20th century, with a large collapse causing a deadly tsunami in December 2018.
