On this day:
August 26, 1883
Krakatoa erupted with such force that it obliterated most of the island, unleashed tsunamis over 100 feet high, and killed over 36,000 people. The explosion was heard 3,000 miles away, and ash darkened skies worldwide, lowering global temperatures. It remains one of Earth’s most cataclysmic natural disasters, a chilling reminder of nature’s raw power. 🌋🌊 #Krakatoa #OnThisDay #History
