Are any of the volcanoes of Krakatau still active and what are recent events
there ?
Matthew Leftwich
Dear Matthew,
You might visit Images of Volcanoes in VolcanoWorld. In our description
of Indonesian volcanoes we describe
Krakatau
.
The most recent eruption of Krakatau was at the island of Anak Krakatau
in May-June of 1995. This ash-rich eruption shot ash about 500-1,300
feet (150-400 m) high. During the second week of June 2,000 explosions
were recorded at the volcano.
