Quiz.HaitiLibre offers you a twice-weekly feature called "Did You Know ?" Today we ask you: in which country is the famous Krakatoa volcano located ?

"Did you know that the Krakatoa volcanic eruption of August 1883, which occurred in the Sunda Strait in Indonesia, remains one of the most memorable and violent natural disasters in modern history ?

The cataclysm pulverized almost the entire volcanic island, generating atmospheric shock waves that circled the globe several times.

The sound of the main explosion was so powerful that it was heard more than four thousand kilometers away. Giant tsunamis triggered by the collapsing caldera swept across nearby coasts, destroying hundreds of villages and causing the deaths of more than thirty-six thousand people.

In addition, immense quantities of ash and sulfur compounds were projected into the stratosphere. This veil of dust blocked solar radiation, causing a temporary drop in global temperature of about one degree the following year."
