Another cataclysmic eruption that shook the world was the eruption of Krakatoa in 1883. This colossal explosion was one of the most violent volcanic events in recorded history, sending a tsunami crashing into coastal communities thousands of kilometers away.

In Eruptions That Shook The World, Dr. Carter transports us to the shores of Java and Sumatra, where the tsunami unleashed a wave of destruction that claimed tens of thousands of lives. She paints a vivid picture of the devastation, the desperate attempts to escape the relentless waters, and the resilience shown by survivors in the aftermath.
