Itineray
Forty
year after the main explosion, in 1927, volcanic activity was seen in the sea
covering the old caldera, between the sites of the two northernmost former
volcanoes of Krakatau, where the greatest activity had
occurred at the time of the cataclysm. A series of eruption 185 m below the
surface of the sea resulted in the emergence of three new islands, one after
the other. They were all son destroyed by surf. A fourth emerged from the sea
on August 12th 1930. It remained above water, and was aptly named Anak
Krakatau (child of Krakatau)
This young and active volcano has been growing around 6 feet a year and
still continues doing so. It grew by the accumulation of ash, and suffered a
devastating eruption in 1952, and other very destructive one in 1971. It is now
300 m high and 5 Km in diameter, and is still active spurting fire and cinder,
this like moonlike landscape. It is lonely volcanic island in the middle of the
sea. The northeast coast, north foreland and east foreland are now vegetated;
the succession of vegetation is still at an early stage, Casuarinas
equisetifolia (cemara) being the dominant tree.
