Dear Visitors,
In this blog, you will be reading information about a famous volcanic mountain called Mount Krakatoa or Mount Krakatau. Mount Krakatau is the Indonesian way of spelling. This is for clarification as most people usually confuse the two.
At its peak, Krakatoa reached a height of 790 m (2,600 ft.) above sea level. Its first known eruption occurred in 416 A. D. However, this eruption destroyed the volcano of Krakatoa which collapsed and formed a 4-mile wide caldera. The islands of Verlaten and Lang are remnants of this older volcano. Subsequently, three volcanoes combined to form the island of Krakatau.
