Krakatoa Volcano Erupts
The world-famous Krakatoa volcano has erupted in Indonesia.
Scientists have said that Krakatau has been erupting nonstop for 2 hours.
A fountain of lava and a huge plume of smoke has burst out of the top of the mountain.
Satellite imagery shows ash several kilometres into the air and a plume as high as 15km.
When Krakatoa erupted in 1883, it created a tsunami that was still a whopping 42m high when it hit land,
killing 36,000 people. Think that when this happened in 1883 it would have been very scary as well
definitely that it created a tsunami that would make it really bad and sad the island or wherever it is
would have been so messed up.
