Krakatau

‘Krakatau’

Krakatoa is another one of the big, destructive names in volcanoes. It is worth visiting today because the island is rebuilding itself after being almost totally destroyed in violent past eruptions, especially the main event in 1883. There is a small amount of life on the island, though the story goes that when scientists visited the island in 1884 the only life they found was a spider hiding in a rock crevice. Lava still occasionally spews from vents which help expand the islands surface.
