April: Anak Krakatoa is a very dangerous volcano. His father exploded in 1883 and changed the temperature of the world and the sky turned gray for 18 months

On August 27, 1883 the island of Krakatoa (Indonesia), which housed three Siamese volcanoes, was swallowed up after a major eruption that caused not only the destruction of the island, but also effects that affected the entire planet. #Krakatau 
The eruption threw debris up to 100 km high, caused tsunamis that killed thousands of people and were even perceived in the English Channel. The phenomenon altered the climate of the planet, stirred with light, air and even the colors of the sunset in various places of the world.
The noise of the explosion was so loud that it was heard 3,000 miles away on the Mauricio Islands, where they thought it was a cannon shot fired by a ship.
Not to mention that the closest people had their eardrums ruptured. It was the loudest sound ever recorded.

The tsunamis killed about 40k people in the coastal towns of the Sunda Strait, and advanced through the Indian and Pacific Oceans, reached the east coast of Africa and climbed the Atlantic. Tides detected the waves pushed by tsunamis in distant places like France. #Krakatoa
It wasn't just in the oceans that #Krakatoa left his mark.
The force of the explosion released an estimated energy of 200 megatons, more than 10,000 times the strength of the Hiroshima atomic bomb. This created a pressure wave that has turned the planet around three times.

The effects of sunlight refracted by particles in the stratosphere expelled by the volcano stirred the appearance of twilights and auroras that could be noticed in various parts of the world.
Descriptions of the time report vivid and bright twilights, PURPLE. #Krakatoa
