◎简 介
1883年8月26日，位于印度尼西亚爪哇和苏门答腊之间的喀拉喀托火山 (Krakatoa)发生史上破坏力最强之一的火山爆发。在短短48小时内，上百条村落被摧毁，随之而来的海啸更淹没了爪哇和苏门答腊的海岸线，至少有3万6千人丧生。1930年湖中的火山口冒出一座新山峰﹐被命名安腊喀拉喀托(Anak Krakatoa)﹐意思是喀拉喀托的孩子，往后的70年间仍在不断冒升。
这次火山爆发的爆炸威力相等于二亿万吨黄色炸药，接近前苏联试爆世界上最大核弹的两倍，毁去原有岛屿的三份之二﹔引起强烈地震和高达30～40米的海啸，浪涛比2004南亚海啸高三倍之多﹔发出的爆炸声是史上最巨大声响，传达远至3,500公里之外﹔冰雹大小的碎石最远落到一百英里以外，雅加达全城陷入一片漆黑之中。对许多当地居民而言，这好比世界末日来临
