Krakatoa volcano explodes: spectacular huge eruption two months before 2018 tsunami 

Finally somebody who: - Holds the camera steady - Does not film with a calculator, but just in FULL HD - Does not film in portrait mode Sir - You need a medal for that

The real Krakatoa destroyed itself in 1883! This is the Child of Krakatoa called Krakatau!

Someone give this man a medal for his filming skills 👏

I seem to remember reading that the bang of Krakatoa circled the globe three times. Presumably the loudest natural sound in human history.

That 1940's outboard motor puttering in the background doesn't exactly inspire confidence of a quick getaway.

“Hey that Volcano just erupted” “don’t worry, I know CPR”

That's really formidable, amazing! But it's dangerous being so close to an erupting volcano, especially if it's a such tremendous and powerful one like the well-known notorious Krakatau!

I like how now they have continuous live streams set up at the volcanos to capture the initial eruption so that people dont have to think they need to film it current status of yellowstone: fine

* krakatoa explodes * cameraman: cklckla clk clik calsks clks

This is the best real footage of an actual volcanic eruption I’ve ever seen! Thank you guys!!

Good for them on the camera. Can’t imagine how that must look and feel in person, and how to decide what to frame. Figure that’s about as good of a job as you could do all things considered.

Looks amazing!! I’m surprised by the lack of the boom though - so quiet, given the violence

that volcano is called ''anak kakatau'' or krakatoa child. If krakatoa, it's been gone for a long time. sorry for my english.

Now imagine back in 1883 when it first blew its top. The percussive blast was so powerful, it could be heard 4000 miles around the earth. Plus when it did explode, the entire island was decimated to sea level leaving only fifteen feet of land left. 200 + years later, it grew back to this size. The fastest evolving island on the planet. During its first eruption however, it wiped out over 160 villages and killed over 35000 people while those who survived were left deaf permanently. These guys are lucky since the island is made up of more softer material to cushion the blast. In 1883 it was made up of dense compacted granite, which was why the explosion was so loud. Much like Mount rainier of today that scientists are watching very closely. If that mountain blows, it will wipe out both seattle and tacoma combined. Volcanoes are incredibly beautiful to look at during its clearance phase, but one could compare them to - a subatomic time bomb. You just never know when one will wake up even with the best equipment.

In hindsight you can really see how Anak Krakatau was setting itself up for the collapse and tsunami later that year. The vent system migrated towards the flank that eventually failed with the added material on the flank, plus being on the edge of the 1883 caldera left the whole thing poised to sink. As terrible as the tsunami in December 2018 was, I wish that was caught on camera.

From the title All I can think of is that one episode with squidward as the superhero LOL.

Krakatoa, referring to *Anak* Krakatau: *"That's my son! I'm so proud of him."*

It didn't exploded, it just sneezed...

If I were filming this, I know I would sound like Arthur and his knights in Monty pythons the holy grail. "Run away, run away".

my first thought: i hope that's a really incredibly good zoom on the cam and they weren't actually dumb enough to get this close to the crater of an active volcano

I told you guys 🌋 🐙

Where are the damn drones when u need them

I like how at the start of the eruption, you can actually see where it penetrated the surface. Even easier to see on x0.25 speed.

At last. A non clickbait video.

1:15 "Did you see that?" Nahhhh mate was focusing on the pigeon in the other direction, what happened?

Amazing videography and camera, cameraman 👍Huge Respect 🙏

A local guide boated us to Anak Krakatoa in 2012 and they dropped us on the volcano.. and you'd just walk up as close as you wanted, unguided. The guide just stayed on the boat and waved us to go on up and check it out. It was blowing ash and small rocks out while we walked about half way up with some flip flops on. Seems insane in hindsight

“OK, just keep the engine running in case pyroclastic flow comes directly to us and hope we can outrun it”

Legend has it the photographers are still snapping away to this day...

The cameraman is the owner of all volcano in the world

Perfect timing! ❤

Now imagine a 3 times taller volcano just blowing itself up with 1000 times more force. That's the real Krakatoa.

The camera is steady... That's very good operation on the part the cameraman.... Kudos 👍👌🌹

Thank you for sharing this!!!

Squidward (Captain Magma): KRAKATOA!!!

Today Sons of Krakatoa now has erupted again, his voice was heard to my place 100 miles away. Hopefully nothing happens here 🤲

Best comment from the video: "Did you see that"?

Mount Krakatau is in my area in Banten, this mountain has destroyed all areas of Banten, Sumatra, even Australia were hit by the shock, it's really terrible this Krakatau Mountain, now the child of Mount Krakatau is active again

Volcanos are the Earth's pimples.

Mom: don’t eat so much spicy food 5 minutes later Me:

How in the #FisherPrice is the camera man this steady while the boat is moving against the waves.? 👋🌊 #TakeThatTerrentino

For those unaware... This is not the same volcano that erupted in 1883. The collapse of krakatoa formed a small island called Anak Krakatoa, which is this one.

Pompeii: AAAAAAAH RUN! Krakatoa: ooh let's take photos

When I think of Krakatoa I think of Squidward.

i flew above it when the tsunami event played, i shocked bcs i realized it in the morning when im at hotel and the time was coincidence. RIP for the loss, hope they get a nice place in the afterlife

Can I use this video channel for educational purpose, please? Thanks.

Nobody: Squidward: *K R A K A T O A!*

only 1800's kids remember ... oh the PTSD

This is the first time am watching a volcano 🌋 🌋🌋🌋 eruption with volume..

A fumaça formada pela erupção assemelha-se a uma criatura gigantesca com cabeça de felino monstruoso. 😮

pray for indonesia🇮🇩 from argentina🇦🇷 de hecho, no soy un Dybala genuino, pero soy de Argentina orando por Indonesia. 🇦🇷🇮🇩

This was Anak Krakatau, (child of Krakatau) which is the surviving "vent" from the eruption of Krakatau in the 1800s. Before it was Krakatau it was Rakata, Danan and Perbuwatan. Bottom line, no matter what you call it, this is a dangerous super volcano that is NOT going to go away.

This wasn't even mentioned on mainstream news media in Canada

* UPDATE: Anak Krakatoa had a deadly eruption in 2018 known as 2018 Sunda Strait tsunami. & Anak Krakatoa began erupting again on the morning of 10 April 2020.

Krakatoa “Don’t leave. I just want somebody to lava.”

The volcano between Java and Sumatra is one of the most active in the world and caused a tsunami with hundreds of deaths in 2018. The Krakatau eruption in 1883 with a good 36,000 deaths is considered the most powerful eruption of modern times. © AFP

It's amazing what people get used to and be experienced enough to know they're not in imminent danger. I would've absolutely crapped my drawers, thinkin': "That's it, I'm done."

Just before the eruption i saw the edge of the crater move like underground charges detonating as to extend the crater rim.

Krakatoa, or Krakatau (Indonesian: Krakatau), is a caldera[1] in the Sunda Strait between the islands of Java and Sumatra in the Indonesianprovince of Lampung. The name is also used for the surrounding volcanic island group (Krakatoa Archipelago) comprising four islands: two of which, Lang and Verlaten, are remnants of a previous volcanic edifice destroyed in eruptions long before the famous 1883 eruption; another, Rakata, is the remnant of a much larger island destroyed in the 1883 eruption. Anak Krakatoa or Anak Krakatau (one in the same) means child of Krakatoa. Per wikipedia. Krakatoa is gone long gone from the 1883 blast if I read that correctly.

Great to see. I could never see this in my lifetime without youtube.

where i live in sicily our beloved volcano etna is in full eruption and i notice that many volcanoes are waking up, do you think 2021 wants to compete with 2020?

Wooowww....krakatau...!!!! Gunung vulkanik yg penuh dengan sejarah di Indonesia...👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏

"Spectacular explosion" Maybe not for the peoples who lived the time when his "dad" erupted

The earth has a gassy stomach.

What on Earth would you follow the sides instead of the explosion coming out of the top of the volcano???

You can smell the dust! Amazing pics!

Pause at 1:37 Godzilla !!

1:37 I see a beautiful tiger 😍😍😍

GREAT, freaking camera work! That "Steady Shot"... on a boat, nonetheless... Dang!! Sweet capture. Looks like "we" could just walk right up and over it. As if it were a small foothill. VERY nice and Thank You, for sharing!!! Cheers!

Imagine being the original settlers of Thera/Santorini, seeing basically THAT and being like "yeah that looks like a nice spot for a city," then in roughly 1600-1500BC KABLOOIE!!!

0:13 When it’s NoNutNovember and a Victoria Secret ad plays

this is not krakatau but this is anak krakatau (child krakatau), because krakatau mountain has been destroyed and become small islands

Definitely had that camera on a gyroscope which makes for an awesome steady camera despite being on a choppy lake

*crying* Krakatoa: I’m so proud of him

Volcano: *Explodes* People: WE MUST TAKE PICTURES!

Is there no 'boom' that goes along with the eruption? I'm always waiting to hear a big boom.

I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but an softball sized orb zips across the bottom of the screen at :56 it's remarkable

Amazing how it instantly erupted from nothing, I don't recall ever watching such thing before!

It looks like they predicted it to the second, showed up and got the first eruption on film. Insane timing!

how far away were they did they live?

I watched a documentary where they showed evidence that even before 1883, Krakatoa erupted around 545 BC . It impacted entire planet and Sun was feeble for around 18 months. And huge number of people died due to famine and drought brought upon by this climatic change

sometime ago: the krakatoa explodes causing a massive soundwave 2018: oh sh** were go again

Just how volatile our earth can be. My condolences to our brother's n sister's in Indonesia.

A bit like Pompeii here. Instead of getting away, they are closer than the habitats were in Pompeii. No one is scared anymore.

Calm down, dude.. Let us was enjoying this awesome video.

Son of krakatoa.. he is in a growth period

There's a documentary called Secrets of the Dead that goes pretty deep into the Krakatoa eruption in 535 AD. Very well done documentary!

The sound of that motor starting up is the most entertaining part of the video.

most people when they hear Volcano, they automatically fear the Lava but what they should fear is the gas emitting from inside...

me after eating spicy food

Fake. It's just vinegar and baking soda.

Credit to whoever recorded this from a distance

I expected a bang when the soundwave reached them, but what came was the most gentle rumblings yet we're looking at this massive smoke cloud as if it really was a big boom.

Nice one guys ... awesome video ! think same date we were there :-)

Spectacular huge eruption? In volcanic terms this is like a hamster farting.

Why didn’t they move out the way??? That’s Bold!! Excellent video guys
