Rogier Diederik Marius Verbeek and Krakatoa

Krakatoa: The Last Days

2006 BBC TV Docudrama

Today is the birthdate [1845] of Rogier Diederik Marius Verbeek who wrote a chronicle of the eruption of Krakatoa. In 1885 Verbeek published a detailed day-by-day account of the eruption and its aftermath with beautiful illustrations titled Krakatau [the Indonesian spelling for the island] and it remains the principal first-hand source for all later investigators of the eruption.
