The explosion is still considered to be the loudest sound ever heard in modern history, with reports of it being heard nearly 3,000 miles from its point of origin. The shock wave from the explosion was recorded on barographs around the globe. Vulkanology Centre and Geological Hazard Mitigation (PVMBG) prohibit the citizens to approach Mount Anak Krakatau in a radius of 2 kilomter with increasing seismic activity the volcano.
