Krakatoa Eruption: A Global Impact (1883)
On August 26, 1883, Indonesia's Krakatoa volcano began its catastrophic eruption. Peaking the next day, it produced the loudest sound in recorded history, heard almost 4,800 km away. This event triggered immense tsunamis, some 40 meters high, devastating coastlines and causing over 36,000 deaths. Atmospheric ash affected global weather and created vivid sunsets worldwide for years.
