Top Comments of this video!! :3
i know you probably wouldn't read this but, there was a myth by our ancestor, it says that thousands of years ago java and sumatra island were connected.. and there happened a volcano eruption that separates the two.. and that volcano was krakatau.
also back then our ancestor says that krakatau used to be a giant mountain, but the explosion was so big and devastating, that it actually destroys itself and its surroundings.
(this was one of the story my grandma used to tell me before i go to sleep, and my grandma also hear this story from her grandma, and my grandma's grandma would also hear this story from her grandma and so on...)

Krakatoa is believed to be the source of a population explosion of saguaro cacti in the Sonoran desert of Arizona. Inordinate numbers of seedlings and baby saguaros survived the mild summer that followed the eruption, and many of them are still thriving today. We believe several saguaros on our property are Krakatoa babies, and they are STUNNING.

I lived in Bandung,West Java, 1977-1979 and my house was on the slopes of Tangkuban Prahu, a volcano which was semi-active or semi-dormant depending on your point of view.
Some nights you would have to keep all your windows closed because of the fumes.On the other hand you could go to the hot springs at Ciater and have a free "spa" treatment.

There was a TV show a long time ago (which is where I'm from) called The Time Tunnel. Their first episode was about Krakatoa. I was around ten, and I'd never heard of Krakatoa before. It's amazing that the eruption obliterated the island. I remember first seeing a news story about this volcano being back. At that time it was just a peak sticking up out of the water with smoke coming out of it. I was astonished when in 2018 it erupted and there was an island attached to that peak! Great video!

Hi I went to Anak Krakatoa with my girl friend in October 2015 and camped on the island with the help of our Indonesian crew
The volcano was rumbling all night and we hiked to the top ridge which was taking a chance with our lives at that point -
quite amazing feeling to have done this and have the photos to remember by. The power of the earth and the beauty of nature fuses there. it was like being in a National geographic movie!!

Beautiful video with clear comparisons. I have read several novels about Krakatoa, one about a ship caught in the tsunami. A friend was staying in Olongapo during the eruption of Mt Pinatubo. The description and the prevailing conditions were astonishing. I did visit the area not long afterwards. There was an entire town buried with just the tip of the church steeple poking up from the ground.

Ok, so none of us alive witnessed this event, but if you have any experiences of volcanic eruptions, or if you live in or near the Sunda Strait, please say hi, and tell us all about it!
