From the BBC docu-drama, "Krakatoa: The Last Days." The movie is also known as "Krakatoa: Volcano of Destruction" and aired on Discovery Channel. The movie brings to life the journals and recollections of four witnesses who survived the cataclysmic eruption of Krakatoa in August of 1883.

Rogier Verbeek was one of the few scientists that were in the area at the time of Krakatoa's eruption. His observations and findings became the foundation for modern volcanology, giving detailed account of the the entire cycle of a volcano's eruption.

This clip features the aftermath of Krakatoa's destruction, it's effect on the people it directly touched, as well as its world-wide influence for many years to follow.

In 1927, a new volcano was born on the very spot where the old one stood. It is called Anak Krakatoa, "Son of Krakatoa."

Melody, my heartfelt thanks for posting clips from this amazing film! I have been in the arts for decades, from independent film to theatre to music and beyond, and it is a truly rare and precious experience that captivates, spellbinds, and affects me deeply. Thank you for introducing me to this superlative film!

@chimayai - *Blush!* I'm glad that you enjoyed it - but all kudos really goes to the BBC. They make the best docudramas around!

[Sethrezin]

where can one find the full movie? This docudrama had more emotion than notable several Hollywood films I have seen.:)

[MelodyOfVision]

@Sethrezin - I got the Region 2 DVD from Amazon UK (I have the link at the bottom of the description box) - and someone also mentioned coming across it on eBay (also in Region 2 format). If you find it in Region 1, please let me and everybody else know!

@darrenholcomb42 well, I wouldn't call it un natural. There's plenty of volcanoes erupting right now. Climate change is natural- what isn't natural is the amount of gas humans have released into the atmosphere. If you can accept a volcano's ashes and gas released changes core temperatures, you can accept the volume of gas emitted by cars, factories etc. will have an effect. Think of them as millions of mini volcanoes and then you get the idea of the trouble we're in.

Nothing in the word can copmpare it's power.

[AeonXero]

Many people believe Hurricanes, Tornadoes and Wildfires are the worst disasters - that's wrong. Earthquakes are number one and then Volcanoes. The power of volcanoes is GREATLY underestimated due to the fact that major eruptions occur in a vast period of time between each major eruption. But when they do, they cause wide spread problems and their power should never be underestimated.
