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.
