August 27th, 1883. Series of blasts on the Island of Krakatoa blew the island apart and was one of the largest eruptions in history. The hot gases and rock (Pyroclastic flows) consumed ships as far as 40 kilometers away. The eruption generated tsunamis as high as 40 meters high that devestated nearby Coastlines. The final death toll was 36,417. The sound of the final explosion was heard over 4,500 kilometer away and covered 1/13th of the Earth's surface.
When Krakatoa erupted, 70% of the island and its surrounding archipelago were destroyed. Over 36,000 people died., officially but some felt that the number was closer to 120,000. Tsunamis overturned ships as far away as South Africa. Weather patterns were disrupted for over five years because of the ash in the sky. Sunsets were redder than usual even in Norway and New York due to the ash.

Indonesia was blown away and it landed in Seattle, Washington and a part of it landed in England
a big ash cloud covered just about the whole entire world. Many other tsunamis killed about 3,000 people.
it killed many people
devestation
The 1883 eruption of Krakatoa, a volcano in Indonesia, killed tens of thousands of people and blasted ash into the stratosphere. This had the effect of cooling the planet by about 3 degrees in the year following the explosion.
Yes. The 1883 eruption of Krakatoa killed at least 36,000 people.
There is a new volcano in the same spot where Krakatoa once was and they are now calling the new volcano the son of Krakatoa.
