This video discusses the eruption of the Krakatoa volcano in 1883, which was one of the most powerful volcanic eruptions in history. It resulted in significant destruction, including a massive tsunami and global climate changes. The eruption caused the island to virtually disappear and left the Earth in darkness for 18 months. Anak Krakatoa, a smaller volcano that emerged afterward, is seen as potentially even more powerful in the future. Scientists are monitoring it closely.
