Es handelt sich um eine meist untergetauchte Caldera mit 3 äußeren Randzonen und einem neuen Kegel, Anak Krakatau, der seit 1927 eine neue Insel bildet und nach wie vor sehr aktiv ist.
Krakatau explodierte spektakulär in einem verheerenden Plinianischen Ausbruch von 1883, bei dem mehr als 30.000 Menschen getötet wurden (meistens durch den riesigen Tsunamis, der durch den Ausbruch ausgelöst wurde). Der Ausbruch war eines der ersten globalen Nachrichtenereignisse, nachdem Telegrafenlinien die verschiedenen Kontinente miteinander verbunden hatten.
