In addition, pyroclastic flows of hot volcanic ash traveled more than 40 km (25 mi) across the surface of the sea and fatally burned at least 2,000 people

The eruption produced huge ocean waves called tsunamis that reached an estimated height of 30 m (100 ft) and traveled 13,000 km (8,000 mi); these waves drowned about 34,000 people along the coasts of Java and Sumatra and destroyed incalculable amounts of property

Until the night of August 26-27, 1883, Krakatau had an area of 47 sq km (18 sq mi); at that time, a volcanic eruption and its consequent explosions destroyed most of the island, so the present area is only 15 sq km (6 sq mi)

Much of Krakatau disappeared beneath the sea after the eruption, leaving a smaller but very active volcanic island, Anak Krakatau ("Child of Krakatau").

Krakatoa erupted, splitting Java and Sumatra into separate islands and throwing every major civilization in the world into a dark age that lasted about 750 years

The island of Krakatoa erupted on august 27, 1883

in december 1959 anak krakatau became very active.

people say it is even more devastating than the eruption of mount saint helens

people say this is the most famous volcano

people say the volcano blew its own head off

the explosion of Krakatoa was equivelant to two thousand million Hiroshima size bombs (2 billion- 2,000,000,000)

people called the explosion of Krakatoa "the day the world exploded"

in 1960 Anak Krakatau had a diameter of about one mile 1.5 km

the eruption of Krakatoa generated the loudest sound historically reported

people said that after the eruption they realized wat nature could really do to us

some people called the eruption of Krakatoa the eruption heard round the world

after Krakatoa erupted it lost a large amount of land and then later on (sometime in the future im not sure when) it erupted under the sea and out came the new Krakatoa

rakata, is the creator of the original krakatoa(which used to be called Krakatau)

yes krakatoas baby erupted many times (only minor eruptions tho) and it still erupts daily to this day.
