The Krakatoa Volcanic Eruption of 1883 - The Loudest Sound Ever Heard?

In 1883, possibly the loudest sound ever heard, detonated in the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra, Indonesia. The source of this explosion? A volcano that has gone down in infamy. Over 36,000 lives were lost in the ensuing pyroclastic flows and tsunami, and is the second deadliest volcanic eruption in recorded history. This is Infamous Geography. This is Krakatoa.

In this video, I look at the causes of the 1883 Krakatoa eruption, the subduction of the Indo-Australian plate under the Sunda Plate, as part of the Pacific Ring of Fire that has led to Indonesia having the largest number of active volcanoes of any country. I look in detail at the colossal 1883 eruption, the sounds that it made that put it into the record books, and the killer pyroclastic flows and tsunami that led to so many lives lost.

I then look at Krakatoa in the context of other historical eruptions and as measured by the Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI). Mount Tambora and Mount Toba, also in the same region are notable examples of other massive volcanic eruptions in recorded and geological history.

Lastly, I look at how the numerous volcanoes on Java have led to this island being the most populated on Earth, and end with a glimpse at what might lie in Krakatoa's future.

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!

Living in Indonesia is like standing on the edge of a steep cliff and deeply enjoying the beauty of nature, if you are not careful and alert

I remember my Grandmother telling me of the orange tinted sunrises and sunsets she witnessed as a little girl and her Father telling her it was due to the dust from Krakatoa. This was on the Eyre Peninsula of South Australia in the early 1900ā€™s.

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.

I've traveled to Java and honestly I had no idea there were so many ACTIVE volcanoes along that ridge. We flew over some and I could see them smoking. Great video!

.. i climbed Anak Krakatoa a year before the eruption - it was spewing ash & growing like 1 metre a year.. the view from the peak was breathtaking... i remember the slope was made of ash only & my feet sinks every step i take - feels like walking on moon.

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!

This explosion had given us so many marks, and it's poetically documented in so much like literature such a "Syair Lampung Karam" or "Poem of Drowned Lampung", and a Batavian (Betawi) folksong named "Kramat Karem". Also, it's indeed recorded in a Chinaman's diary of Batavia by Tio Tek Hong.

300dB wow, that's even louder than my neighbours parties when they have a family gathering. Truly powerful.

I just spent a week at Lake Toba - fantastic history. Volcanoes create life while taking life. Ultimately, while their immense power is to be feared and respected, they also have created and continue to create the planet we know today. They ARE life.

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.

Great video as always! I liked how you mentioned not only Krakatoa but also Mount Tambora and Toba. Volcanoes are just so interesting! Can't wait to see what you've got next time, Geodiode!

āš”"Krak-a-toa" is the phonetic enunciation of the sound of a volcano going off. I just realized that. Great video. Great topic.

Loudest sound ever recorded. The loudest ever heard by humans was probably Toba or Tambora and it was nice to see you mention them.
