In episode 26 of the 5 Minute Disasters podcast, we revisit the catastrophic eruption of Krakatoa in 1883, one of the most powerful volcanic events in recorded history. In just five minutes, we explore how the island's violent explosion devastated nearby regions, unleashing colossal tsunamis and killing tens of thousands of people. The eruption sent shockwaves around the globe, both literally and figuratively, altering weather patterns and painting the skies with vivid sunsets for years. Join us as we uncover the story of the volcano that shook the world and changed it forever.
