Forty years after the main explosion, in the beginning of 1927,
volcanic activity was seen in the sea covering the old caldera,
between the sites of the two northern most former volcanoes of
Krakatau, where the greatest activity had occurred at the time of the
cataclysm. A series of eruptions 185 m below the surface of the sea
resulted in the emergence of tree new island, one after the other.
They were all soon destroyed by surf. A fourth emerged from the sea on
August 12th 1930. It remained above water, and was aptly named Anak
Krakatau ( Child of Krakatau ). its grew by the accumulation of ash,
and suffered a devastating eruption in 1952, and another very
destructive one in 1972. It is now 300 m high and 2 km in diameter,
and is still active. The northeast coast, north forel and and east
fore land are now vegetated; the succession of vegetation is still at
an early stage, over 200 species of higher plants Casuarina
Equisetifolia (Cemara ) being the dominant trees and 36 kinds species
of birds was recorded at 1980.
The three outer islands of the present
Krakatau volcano group (Rakata, Sertung and Panjang) are though to be
the remnants of one previous huge volcanic island called "Ancient
Krakatau" . it was 11.000 m in diameter and 2000 m high, according to
records in the Javanes BOOK OF KING it exploded and collapsed, perhaps
in prehistoric times but possibly as recently as 416 AD.
