The eruption of Krakatoa ejected a huge amount of dust and ash which affected the climate. it also created a very large Tsunami which killed many tens of thousands of people along the coast of Indonesia. For a year after the eruptions the world experienced amazing sunsets as a result of the dust in the atmosphere. The remnants of the island were completely denuded of life, and it provided an excellent natural laboratory for scientists to study the way that such areas are re-occupied by organisms and plants.
There is plenty of information on this eruption on the web - just do a search on Krakatoa
