The eruption of Krakatoa, a volcanic island located in the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra in Indonesia, began on August 26 and escalated to cataclysmic explosions the following day. This event was characterized by four major explosions, with the final blast being one of the most powerful in recorded history. The sound of the eruption was so loud that it could be heard as far away as Australia and the island of Rodrigues near Mauritius, approximately 4,800 kilometers away. It is estimated that around 36,000 people lost their lives due to the eruption and the tsunamis it triggered. The eruption resulted in the complete destruction of the island, leaving only remnants of its former self.The atmospheric impact of the eruption was far-reaching. It propelled an estimated 25 million tons of ash into the stratosphere, altering weather patterns and leading to a temporary global cooling. Researchers noted the phenomenon of 'volcanic winter,' a period of significant climate change marked by lower temperatures across the globe during the following years. Stunning sights, such as brilliant red sunsets and unusual weather phenomena, became commonplace as the dust and ash dispersed around the Earth, which had profound effects on both agriculture and day-to-day life in various regions. The aftermath of Krakatoa was not just a local issue but an incident with far-reaching global consequences.
