Signs of Coming Eruption

Almost 126 years to the day since Krakatoa first showed signs of an imminent eruption, stunning pictures released this week prove specially the remnant of unique once-enormous volcano is bubbling, boiling and brimming overrun.

This enormous Mountain time bomb is located on the Sunda Strait, between Java and Sumatra, Indonesia


It has been estimated the explosive force 13,000 times the power of atomic bomb that annihilated Hiroshima, the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa killed more than 36,000 people and radically altered global weather and temperatures for years afterwards.

The eruption was considered as violent and catastrophic that no active volcano in modern periodically has come close to rivaling it. Not even one.

Looking back and forth, and now nearly a century and a half on, the question on our mind, are we about to good taste another horrors of Krakatoa once again? It seems, it's not easy to fully able to predict and unusual eruption make it more complex to understand the behavior.
