Volcano Puts Us in Our Place

There’s nothing like a good volcano eruption to put us uppity humans in our place. The grand-daddy of well-documented eruptions, Krakatoa, was four times the explosive power of the biggest hydrogen bomb ever detonated. It was the loudest noise ever documented. Just over half a century earlier, the even-bigger
