Krakatoa's eruption and tsunami 1883

Krakatoa is a volcanic island situated in the Sunda Strait between the islands of Java and Sumatra inIndonesia. 
The Krakatoa volcanoes erupted and exploded in 1883, causing massive tsunamis and killing at least 36,417 people, while simultaneously destroying over two-thirds of Krakatoa island.
Here I give you some photos about the volcanic eruption.










Here is a photo and a little video of one of the best movies based on this eruption and tsunami, called Krakatoa: The Last Days





Finally, I also give you a Google Earth capture about the geographical region.
