This week, we're discussing the 1883 Krakatoa eruption. This volcanic eruption was so violent that the sound produced was the loudest ever heard in history and traveled a terrifyingly fascinating distance of 3,000 miles to the south Pacific islands. Over 100,000 are estimated to have lost their lives during this eruption and the island where the volcano was located was left completely decimated.
