On the scale that measures the size of explosive eruptions, the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa was a VEI 6. It was about 20 times larger than the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens and the second largest eruption in recorded history. The largest was the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora.
The Krakatoa eruption of 1883 emitted an estimated 6 cubic miles (25 cubic kilometers) of volcanic ash, dust, and sulfuric gases, including carbon dioxide. The exact amount of carbon dioxide specifically emitted is difficult to quantify accurately due to limited historical records and variations in estimating methods.
1883
The Krakatoa eruption in 1883 was a Plinian eruption, which is a highly explosive volcanic event characterized by the eruption of vast amounts of ash and volcanic material into the atmosphere. The eruption of Krakatoa was one of the most powerful volcanic explosions in recorded history.
That would be the Krakatoa volcano, which had a devastating eruption in 1883. The eruption caused tsunamis and atmospheric effects that were felt worldwide.

The Krakatoa volcano eruption that occurred in 1883 in Sumatra, Indonesia. It was so powerful that it even destroyed the volcano. Today, Krakatoa's son, "Anak Krakatau" that was made of Krakatoa's eruption stands on the remains of the 1883 Krakatoa eruption.

The total death toll from the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa was estimated to be around 36,000 people. This included deaths from the initial eruption, tsunamis triggered by the eruption, and the aftermath of the disaster.
