There have been a lot of huge volcano eruptions in the past for example the eruption in [|Vesuvius AD 79] or something like [|Mount St.Helens 1980]. Those have been terrible volcano eruptions but the one I am going to talk to you today is about [|Krakatoa 1883]. This volcano eruption was huge it was so big it might have made Islands. And that eruption was so huge you could see it from an Airplane if the existed back then in 1883. This volcano eruption killed over 2,000 people. This volcano lives on an Island of Indonesia. This eruption happened because the volcano had not erupt for a long time, so it just had to blow off steam and be okay.

This disaster was so sudden like the eruption of Vesuvius AD 79 no person in that eruption survived because they did not know what it was they thought it was they thought it was just an earthquake but then BOOOOOOOOM the volcano just exploded out of nowhere. That was bad. Krakatoa was way worse. But now I think people would do different today if they would have an emergency plan for his/or her family and for that person too. During a volcano eruption if they saw the black smoke they must IMMEDIATELY go to a safe place. If the do these things I can tell you the result is much bigger and better and people will be saved other than it was then.

This Volcano is named Katla it is really powerful. This eruption happened in May 2011, it was awful. This eruption was so bad that it made all airlines from anywhere to Europe cancel. I think our president Barack Obama was in Europe at that time. So we did not have our president here to help the economy. Back to this, I have not seen something this big that blocked air travel other than Krakatoa or Vesuvius but they did not have air travel at that time so it is not related to this. But I am serious when I say this “ I am going to be really worried if any eruption like this happens again.” This volcano is way bigger than this other volcano Eyjafjallajökull it seems like it is really big and cool and huge but if you want to see a bigger volcano see Katla it is cool but it is active and dangerous. So the after effects of this volcano eruption were no one could leave Europe for a few weeks, and there was an earthquake, but it was brutal, I cannot believe that it closed down airlines. I would love to see this volcano though, but I do not want to be there stuck in Europe with no way out for a few weeks. The Volcano is very dangerous so do not go that close to it either. Remember this “ all volcanoes were active at one point and maybe can still be active.
