Disasters "Big Bang in Asia" - 

the whole world shakes:

The event makes all the barometer in London up to 7 times higher shock and the whole world shakes in minutes.

Krakatoa is an active volcano on the Ring Fire Pacific. It formed an archipelago system consists of four main islands in Indonesia's Sunda Strait, between Sumatra and Java islands.

"The Big Bang" on 27 August 1883, is one of the worst disasters of human history. It has claimed the lives of 36,417 people and destroyed entire 165 villages and cities, 132 villages were damaged seriously, affecting many areas of the world.

Turn the event "Big Bang explosion of Krakatoa":

Map of the Krakatoa island before it erupted on 27 Aug.

Krakatoa volcanic erupted most in two days 26 and 27 August. Although in May, it began having eruption signs. The first explosion occurred at 17 hours 07 minutes (local time) on 26 August. Shortly thereafter, a series of eruptions with lower intensity occurred repeatedly, averaging 10 minutes there is an eruption of lava, but no major devastating.

The second and the third eruption occurred at 5 hours 30 minutes and 6 hours 44 minutes (local time) on 27 August. And up to 10 hours 02 minutes, the fourth explosion has created a tsunami with tremendous destructive power. Within an hour later, the wave height reaches at peak 37m, destroying hundreds of villages and towns. And up to 10 hours 52 minutes, much smaller explosion created the swirling cone with the large waves on the sea. The final collapse of the "wall" Krakatoa took place several hours later, at 16 hours 38 minutes.

The sound of the explosion reached 180 dB at a distance of 160 km. Anyone with a distance of 20km have been subjected to noise levels 200dB, while the maximum limit of our hearing is 115dB. The disaster’s shocks can be felt in the city of Perth, Australia - far from it to 3,110 km and even in Maurice Rodriges island - away from disaster 5,000 km.

 

Even, it also makes all of the barometer (instruments used to measure atmospheric pressure) in London on 7 times higher shock and shake the world in minutes.

With index eruption at level 6, this volcano's explosive force equivalent to 200 megatons, more than 13,000 times of the atomic bomb Little Boy (13 to 16 kiloton) that is thrown into Hiroshima in August 1945. This eruption made the rocks, ash and pumice shot 25 miles away.

Estimates of the last eruption, pumice ejected volume is as high as about 34 to 50 miles in the sky (54 to 80km). The amount of dust stretching to 3,000 miles (4,828 km) in 10 days later, the whole earth surrounded by clusters of dust explosions. Sulfur in ash reacts with atmospheric ozone causes vivid sunsets around the world. The temperature dropped and the global climate disruption lasted five years.

I ♥ Viet Nam

Visit the "interior" of the world's largest cave in Vietnam - Son Doong:

On 22/04/2009, the delegation Caves Association Royal had announced the discovery of Son Doong Cave – Vietnam and maintain that this is actually the world's largest cave. Moreover, it has been voted BBC is one of the world's most beautiful caves in early May 2011 besides Crystal Cave (Cavescrystal) – Mexico, Firefly Waitomo Cave - New Zealand, Thousand Buddhas Cave (Mac Cao) – China, The Spruce Cave - United States.

February 01/2010, the England explorers after returned Son Doong cave announced specific figures about the size of the cave. So, Son Doong cave passed Deer Cave in Gunung Mulu National Park of Malaysia (with a height of 100m, width 90m, 2km long) to occupy the largest natural cave in the world. Hang a width of 200 meters, higher than 150 meters long and at least 6.5 km. Cave may be longer, but due to technical conditions, the explorers Association Royal Cave was not able to go all the length of the cave to conclude how long cave is. In the cave, the researchers also found a 2.5km long underground river and the stone pillars as high as 70m.

National Geographic Magazine - U.S. reviews:"There are woods in the cave, big enough to hold a skyscraper in New York. As the culmination of the cave is endless. "

On this occasion, the expedition has also provided the video recording of the process of discovering and panorama inside the cave. On this 25 June, studios Kyodo (Japan) introduced a complete 3D model of flow in the film Son Doong cave called "Feel the greatness of nature" through NHK television station. The film was broadcast from Japan to 60 countries around the world (including Vietnam) . This is indeed a proud heritage, a spectacular natural marvels of Vietnam.

Huge size of this cave as well as the rare beauty of it quickly attracted major media worldwide. Many magazines have repeatedly brought news and photos that praise this cave, such as National Geographic, Telegraph ...

Now, take a good view to see how majestic inside of the Son Doong cave!

A line of the roof of the cave collapsed many years ago has created conditions for thelight rushed in, luxuriant growth of trees, creating a spectacular forests in the heart of the cave. The explorer named the place is Eden.

En Cave - an underground cavern created by the Rao Thuong river. Dry season river dwindled into a small lake, but the rainy season it rises a few dozen meters.

The wall is like a petrified waterfall locatednear the exit of  En cave. It is made up by limestone deformed and is shaded bymoss-covered green.

"Although the caves are huge, but they are almost 'invisible' until you walk so close," said Mark Jenkins - a member of the expedition. The local hunters have found the cave by winds blowing up from the ground.

Where there is light where there has forest. Many species of ferns and other plants growing in the part of this cave where have light. Besides plants, the researchers found that both monkeys, snakes, and birds live in forests within the cave.

Over thousands of years, crystals of calcium has surrounded the small grain of sand to create the giant "pearls". This invaluable "Collection of Pearls" located not far from Eden in the grotto.

The biggest challenge of the expedition is to overcome the wall "Great Wall of Viet Nam" is located deep inside the cave. After passing through the porous walls and slippery, they have found the 2^nd way to get inside the Son Doong cave.

Known as the "Great Wall of Viet Nam", this imposing stone to 70m high, over 6km deep. It is the obstacle that made the adventurers must halt the expedition in 2009 and returned in 2010 with the special tools to overcome it.

During the dry season from November to April, the adventurers can explore safely the Ken cave when its lake is dry. The rainy season most of the caves were flooded, so that people cannot pass.

  Climb by rope is the only way to go to the Loong Con cave. Cave was discovered in 2010 and researchers are hoping it can open with the Son Doong cave. A part of cave is blocked by a large rock which their judgments, the other side of that rock is a quite large cave.
