ISLAND
Krakatau volcano, now an island, was located on the island of Rakata, 40 km off the west coast of Java. Since early historic ages, violent volcanic activity has been known to exist in the region. The "great eruption" of Krakatau must have taken place early in the fifth century, as reported in ancient Javanese scriptures. The eruption formed the three Islands of Rakata, Panjang, and Sertung. The eruption also caused a 7 km long caldera to form underneath Rakata. When Krakatau erupted again in 1883, the island virtually collapsed into its cavity, 300 m below sea level. So violent was the eruption that volcanic ash and debris reached as far west as Madagascar. Tidal waves resulted in the destruction of more than 150 villages, and were felt in France and England. In Australia, hundreds of kilometers away from the site, the explosion was heard.
