Krakatoa volcano explodes: spectacular huge eruption two months before 2018 tsunami

Spread The Viralist



Krakatoa volcano explodes in a spectacular large eruption with a small lateral blast on 17 Oct 2018. The place shown in this video no longer exists: on 22 Dec 2018, the summit cone of Anak Krakatau island, seen here erupting, collapsed into the sea in a massive landslide, triggering a devastating tsunami that killed hundreds of people.
Video was taken during a VolcanoDiscovery expedition to Krakatau from 13-20 Oct 2018. In the afternoon of 17 Oct, a particularly violent explosion occurred as lateral blast that excavated a pit crater beneath the southern lid of the crater, at the same location the September lava flow had overspilled from the crater. By 19 Oct, this new pit had merged with the main crater, enlarging it.

  1. 외 화산. 폭발은 산 봉우리에서만 폭발 하는걸까요?
    또 먼 산에서만 폭발 할까?
    도시 한가운데서도 일어날수도 있는데요

  2. WOW !! This footage is spectacular !! These guys are SO lucky they weren't there 2 months later ! I never tire of watching this stuff

  3. Внутрен.насос. в неправильном рабочем состоянии.все на изнанка. Авэз ходит ходуном телок☝сжечь

  4. Where are the rays, the lightning bolts, as in the taal?
    And where are the UFOs?

    Onde estão os raios, os relâmpagos, como ocorreu no taal?
    E cadê os ovnis?

  5. Thanks for sharing. Was there last September 2019 and it was nothing spectacular appearing like this. I was so disappointed didn't get the opportunity to witness the actual volcano in action like this video shows the eruptions in their full glory. Now all that is left is just a fizzle of steam in a small pond on one side of the island, the volcano itself is all collapsed into the sea since December 2018. Its just a totally dead island now that appears like an alien-looking landscape of a distant planet.

  6. Big volcano eruption. The morons starts his little boat toy engine and stayed put. Nature is unpredictable. 1 tonne lava or rock can land on ur head. I guess humans not so smart. Must be scientists

  7. Call it what you want. It is all Krakatoa .. Both the old and reborn Krakatoa are manifestations of the larger Krakatoa caldera's continuing activity. It gets spelled in several different ways depending on which language it is being spoken, written out or by local variations. Aluminium or aluminum – it is the same metal.

  8. BABY KRAKATOA is an extremely active and volatile volcano! The growth of BABY KRAKATOA astounds EVERYONE. By no means is this bad boy done! If BIG DADDY KRAKATOA was bad, his son is worse and ain't wastin' no time letting everybody know just how bad he is! This is what you call,
    one bad mo' fo' !

  9. Why wasn't there a massive loud bang when it erupted. It looked like a bomb explosion that's why I thought there would be a noise or sonic boom
