Where is Krakatau?
Anonymous
Krakatau is in Indonesia at latitude 6.102S, longitude 105.423E. It is
the famous caldera that erupted in 1883, sending volcanic gases high into
the atmosphere, causing brilliant red sunsets and a slight cooling of air
temperature. A wonderful book about the eruption is:" Krakatau 1883: The
Volcanic Eruption and Its Effects" by T. Simkin and R.S. Fiske (1983)
Smithsonian Institution Press.
