Abstract
One of the most famous volcanoes in the world, Krakatau (often referred to as ‘Krakatoa’), is in a group of four uninhabited islands situated in the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra (Fig. 17.1). The islands comprise Rakata, Sertung, Panjang (sometimes known as Rakata Kecil, meaning ‘little Rakata’) and the currently active Anak Krakatau (‘child of Krakatau’) that emerged from the sea in the 1920s, becoming a permanent island in 1930.
