Diaporama | |  Krakatau, a small island group in the Sunda Strait between the islands of Sumatra and Java is one of the world's most famous volcanoes. It is a mostly submerged caldera with 3 outer islands belonging to the rim and a new cone, Anak Krakatau, that has been forming a new island since 1927 and remains highly active.
Krakatau exploded spectacularly in a devastating Plinian eruption 1883 that killed more than 30,000 people (mostly by the huge tsunamis triggered by the eruption). The eruption was one of the first global news events after telegraph lines had connected the different continents.

The island is now a barren ash desert, a low cone of crescent shape around the flat water-filled crater lake to the west.

In addition, a weak thermal signal is again present on MODIS satellite data, which could indicate that the explosion is not only phreatic, but possibly involves magma as well (phreatomagmatic). It remains to be seen how long it will take until new magma reaches the surface and the volcano enters a more continuous phase of activity.
