Forty
years after the main explosion, in 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
).
It
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 foreland and east foreland
are now vegetated; the succession of vegetation
is still at an early stage, Casuarina equisetifolia
((Cemara ) being the dominant tree.
