"Don't be panicked by the worlds new normal, learn basic survival skills." 🏜🏝🌋

[stevenbuck]

Krakatoa was the loudest sound ever heard on planet Earth. Its sound wave travelled around the world twice and sailors nearby lost their hearing instantly. It would have been terrifying.

[wicaksono]

Mount Toba is located in Indonesia, the eruption was so large that it created a large basin called Lake Toba, the largest eruption to make humans almost extinct.

[smallw]

Fun fact: The Lake Toba eruption, which is one of the strongest supereruptions in recent history, had so much power that it nearly killed all of humanity, and caused a global winter that lasted for a decade. Ash covered the entire planet and brought extinction to many species, average temperatures on the planet dropped by several degrees, and the sun was invisible in most continents

[ellasmk]

The lake Toba is about 100 kilometres (62 miles) long, 30 kilometres (19 mi) wide, and up to 505 metres (1, 657 ft) deep. 😢 .. You can imagine how big the eruption was to produce a lake like that

[andrek]

Krakatoa super eruption in the year 535 must have one isle split in two ! Sumatra and Java!

[patriot]

As an indonesian, we can relate living near volcanoes can be dangerous but in the same time, also prospering (with extreme fertile land)

[piperkrier]

Having lived in Washington and seeing Mt. St. Helen's, it wasn't the lava or ash that was so devastating, but the massive Pyroclastic flows and mudslide that occurred when quite literally half the mountain blew up. Highly recommend every to see it at some point in their lives cause it is truly a sight

[fadhelfarras]

there was another big eruption that happened 68 years before Krakatoa, it was also a volcanic mountain in Indonesia called Tambora, it was erupted in 1815 and classify as VEI-7 eruption, killing at least 71k lifes, releasing 160-230km3 of tephra, decreasing global temperature by 0.4-0.7 degrees celcius and causing a climate abnormalities called The Year Without Summer in 1816

[lexifeaser]

Mount Toba looks like it would have been a super volcano in the past. It looks like it collapsed then spawned 5 mini volcanoes all within the caldera.
Caldera: a large volcanic crater, especially one formed by a major eruption leading to the collapse of the mouth of the volcano.

I find what possibly happened a long time ago really interesting, if anyone is from this country I would love to know the history of these volcanoes.

[Andrew-vwvb]

I lived next to Pinatubo and was "lucky" enough to see the plume. The fact that there are larger volcanic explosions than that is terrifying. Its honestly hard to describe the scale.

[JAZY]

Mount Krakatau's explosion was so powerful that the sound of the tsunami reached other countries, that's a history that Indonesia will never forget

[cassiopeyahhgamblingaddict]

In the Mt. Pinatubo eruption, many parents or relatives would always tell that the ashes reached their roofs even though the volcano itself was an island away from them. Thank you for this comparison

Fun facts :

Imagine that I provide information and you examine natural disasters in Indonesia, the tragedy of natural disasters in Indonesia is 100 times more devastating in the world. Nature in Indonesia is very beautiful but very deadly and dangerous. It was on a much different level compared to other countries.

>Krakatoa 1883 was able to kill many people with just the sound of its explosion, plus a tsunami with a height of 30 feet and an earthquake simultaneously. It was recorded that there were 2 islands that were destroyed near Krakatoa, even measuring 5x Tsar Bomba, 2x larger than Singapore and the impact of the explosion reached various countries.

>Tambora 1815 was a pure explosion that caused a worldwide drop in temperature and resulted in poverty in parts of Europe, America, Africa, Asia and Australia. For 1 year there was no summer and millions of people died. Even the sky turned black as the sun was shrouded in smoke from the explosion.

>Toba Supervolcano has experienced an explosion that paralyzed all humans with its total population, even the explosion was felt as far as Africa. Therefore, Toba now has the largest natural caldera lake in the world, in the center of which is an island almost the size of Poland.

>Samalas supervolcano was recorded as an explosion that knocked down dozens of islands and land into pieces, giving rise to a new volcano called Rinjani. In fact, the explosion was not far from the island of Bali and surrounded by dozens of volcanoes.

List of total natural disasters in Indonesia from 2015 - 2021:

In 2015 there were 1, 694 natural disasters.
In 2016 there were 2, 342 natural disasters.
In 2017 there were 2, 175 natural disasters.
In 2018 there were 1, 999 natural disasters.
In 2019, 9, 375 natural disasters occurred.
In 2020 there were 2, 925 natural disasters.
In 2021 there will be 2, 796 natural disasters.

Natural disasters in Indonesia are number 1 in the world and even internationally labeled that Indonesia is a very dangerous and deadly natural disaster-prone area, taken from 2015 data. Imagine if I wrote from the 1800s - 2021 there would be more than millions of natural disasters in Indonesia .

Indonesia has a special place in our hearts, because it is very beautiful but at the same time very deadly.

[Dfathurr]

The fact that almost half of mountains here is in Indonesia, gives me either a sense of proud, and a shivering chill of doom

[blandoome]

I can't imagine if I lived in an era where Lake Toba erupted😰

[MartinIrma]

You forgot the Tambora in 1815. It's eruption had a huge impact on the world population. The year 1816 is known as "the year without summer". Starvation brought people even to eat grass.

[mailboxavenger]

My ancestors said back in the day before Pinatubo erupted
The mountain is fine and hikers love to climb that back in the day
But then one day, the native aetas are confused and they saw lots of smokes in the area and eventually they told the phivolcs about the anomalies since back then, we had few equipments to measure or detect volcanoes erupting...
That's the time the phivolcs declared PINATUBO finally Awaken from extinction...
My ancestors even said that the big dessert at the bottom of volcano is just a river back in their days... But then lahar flows destroyed the water ways and now you'll only see a lot of sands from the volcanic emissions
Even the mountain itself was a perfect cone back then before it erupted
Now it's a big caldera type...

[stuartmisfeldt]

I’d be interested in including Mt. Aso, Kyushu, Japan to the mix. It’s prehistoric eruption/ implosion created one of the largest calderas in the world, and like Toba, has new volcanoes growing within.

[HonduranMegatron]

Imagine how terrifying it is to know that there’s a volcano that’s somehow stronger than Yellowstone, a supervolcano that’s capable of causing the apocalypse
