August 27 has witnessed some truly remarkable moments throughout history. First and foremost, the eruption of Krakatoa in Indonesia stands out as one of the most catastrophic volcanic events in recorded history. On August 27, 1883, after weeks of rumbling, the volcano’s climax sent shockwaves heard thousands of miles away. The explosion was so intense it destroyed over two-thirds of the island, triggered massive tsunamis, and released an estimated 20 cubic kilometers of volcanic debris into the atmosphere. The immediate death toll was staggering, with over 36,000 people perishing due to the eruption and the resulting tsunamis.
