"Anak Krakatau’s steep slope following its eruption.
The volcano’s name translates to “Child of Krakatoa,” a volcanic island formed over years after one of the largest, most devastating eruptions in recorded history occurred at the Krakatoa volcano more than a century ago."
Yeah, it’s what grew out of the hole Krakatoa left. Side bar, I was there in that very bay about 10 years ago on a dive trip. Gorgeous place, perfect cone volcanoes all around. The thought of how devastating it would be to have them erupt did cross my mind. Just an awful thing from which, unless you just relocate beforehand, there is no escape.
Actually, I am mistaken. We landed in Bali and went East toward Komodo Island, so Krakatoa Jr., must just another cone volcano named to shake the berjeezus out the tourists. What’s left of Krakatoa seems to be West of Jakarta.
