Collapse of Anak Krakatau

The mountain erupted and a large amount of earth slid into the ocean triggering a deadly tsunami that struck coastal areas along the Sunda Strait.

Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency conducted satellite observations of the areas around the island and the data analyzed by comparing before and after images.


And there goes another perfectly good volcano. 

A few more words at mainichi.

Krakatoa just blew itself apart, much like Santorini, which may have caused the Plagues of Egypt.

Aren't those islands themselves the remnants of a much larger island which blew up in 1883?
