Krakatoa: the day the world exploded, 27 August 1883

Trama

The island was destroyed and almost 40,000 people were killed. The impact was truly global : ships sailing in the Red Sea were covered in ash ; barometers went haywire in Washington ; the seas were disturbed in Devon ; stunning sunsets burned over London ; immense rafts of pumice floated to Africa." - book jacket.
