Could it have been heard in what is now the city of Kuala Lumpur?
According to the United States Geological Survey, the sound of the Krakatoa eruption – one of the most powerful in history - was heard as far away as Perth, Australia, and Rodriguez Island in the Indian Ocean.
The Scream, by Edvard Munch : Munch said that the deep red skies of his painting was inspired by the sunsets Europe experienced for months after the Krakatoa eruption. As for what the Krakatoa explosion was, it was a massive volcanic eruption in August 1883 on an island in Indonesia. Aside from this, the explosion at Krakatoa also threw up enough gas and ash into the atmosphere to cause weather phenomena and possible global crop failures.Norwegian artist Edvard Munch said that the red sky in his iconic painting"The Scream", was based on his memories of the effect Krakatoa's eruption had on the skies of Europe.Therefore, it is very likely that the sound of the Krakatoa eruption was heard in Kuala Lumpur, given its proximity to the site of the eruption.
