The Explosion That Was Heard Around the World

In 1883, the Krakatoa volcano in Indonesia erupted with such force that it’s considered one of the most powerful explosions in recorded history. The sound was so loud it was heard 3,000 miles away, and the eruption caused massive tsunamis and global climate effects. The sky turned red in places as far as Europe, and temperatures dropped worldwide for years due to the ash cloud.
