  • On August 26, 1883, the volcanic Indonesian island of Krakatoa erupted with an explosion so devastating it impacted the entire Earth. One of the most catastrophic natural disasters in recorded history, the Krakatoa explosion sent cubic miles of earth into the ocean, creating tsunamis; affected the weather by spewing fine ash into the upper atmosphere; and sent boulders as large as trucks flying through the air.
