The 1883 eruption of Krakatoa was what scientists call a caldera forming eruption. The magma that sustains volcanic eruptions comes from a magma chamber beneath the volcano. In an especially large eruption, such as the one produced by Krakatoa, so much magma is expelled that it leaves quite a bit of empty space that the magma once occupied. The volcano then collapsed into this space.

There was a series of massive explosions which were amongst the most violent events in modern recorded history. The island was almost destroyed. The explosion was heard 2200 miles away in Perth, Australia. The shock wave travelled 7 times around the world. Ash reached a height of 50 miles. The death toll could have been as high as 150,000. Two additional islands were formed, but were washed away by the sea
