Krakatoa: How a Collapsing Volcano Creates a Tsunami

How can a collapsing volcano create a tsunami? On 22 December 2018, a flank of Anak Krakatau fell into the Sunda Strait. This documentary explains how the landslide displaced water, how the waves travelled, and why volcanic tsunamis can arrive with little warning. We distinguish the 2018 collapse from the famous 1883 Krakatoa eruption and explore the evidence scientists use to reconstruct what happened. Visuals include AI-generated reconstructions and 3D illustrations for educational purposes. They are not recordings of the actual event or a prediction of a future tsunami.
