Krakatoa (Krakatau)

Krakatoa (or Krakatau) is a famous volcanic island in Indonesia known for its deadly eruption in 1883. The eruption caused massive explosions, ash clouds, and tsunamis, dramatically altering the island's landscape. It also influenced global climate, causing a temporary drop in temperatures worldwide. The eruption was so powerful that it destroyed much of the island and led to the creation of a new volcanic cone. Today, Krakatoa remains an active volcano and a significant geological site, illustrating the Earth's dynamic and powerful natural processes.
