The Krakatoa volcano explosion in August 1883 was the largest natural outbreak in history. Located between Java and Sumatra, on the volcanic island of the same name, the volcano opened a crater with 250 meters of diameter, throwing ash columns up to 55 km high. Subsequent tsunamis raised waves up to 40m high. Volcanic activity continued and in 1930 a new volcanic cone appeared, creating the Anak Krakatoa, which entered a devastating eruption in December 2018. This infographic from the Ábaco collection is integrated into the Volcanoes series, which also includes the original titles: The Earth's Crust, Anatomy, Eruption and Vesuvius in Pompeii.
