Dear visitors...
 To anyone interested in natural processes, Anak Krakatau (Krakatoa) volcano is One of the most fascinating areas in the World. The cataclysmic eruption of 1883 captures the imagination. And spectacular volcanic activity continues to the present. To those interested in biology in the way Islands are colonized by plants and animals-not only the island from which life was eradicated by the 1883 Eruption, but also the new island of Anak Krakatoa (Child Krakatau) the area holds a unique attraction.
No visit to Indonesian can be complete without a visit to Child Krakatau (Anak Krakatoa), "the Volcano that shook the world", simply 206 years ago. A television film has been made about the fatal eruption, identifying environmental repercussions to date. It has been shown worldwide since "1983". You visit will be Adventure Tourism, it will take 2 hours with fast Boat trip to Krakatoa (Krakatau) departure from Carita - Anyer Beach. The trek up Anak Krakatoa take about 1 hour to first level. And we are here has produced a recommended itinerary for your visit which will minimize any risks involved with your Adventure - tour. We ask your cooperation however in preserving this unique natural monument to nature. Continuing study and research into this naturally developing life. Future generations will wish to travel to Anak Krakatau (Anak Krakatoa) to enjoy the awe inspiring silence and moon like Landscape of Anak Krakatoa during its "Sleeping" periods. During active periods even the adventures are we can see the red lava at night from Old Krakatoa (Krakatau), its rely interesting because we could hear the crack like Thunder.
Imagine a country in the middle of the ocean that is made up more then 13,500 tiny islands. This is what the country of Indonesia is like. Indonesia is in the Pacific ocean between Asia and Australia. About half of these islands do not have people living on them. Many of the island of Indonesia are made up of dangerous volcanoes. A volcano is a hill or mountain that is formed when hot liquid from inside earth break through the surface. A volcano in Indonesia, called Krakatoa, is one of the most famous volcanoes in the world. In 1883, Krakatau (Krakatoa) erupted. The explosion was heard thousands of miles (Km) away, as far away as Australia and Japan.
As you visit the island I hope that you will recall the mighty eruption of 1883 which, at the expense of thousands of dead, led to the conditions which are of such interest to both scientists and tourists today. Please treat the delicate island ecosystem with care, so that it may continue to bring interest to other visitors and in this way serve as a memorial to that great human tragedy a century ago.
Krakatau volcano (also often referred to as Krakatoa) is best known for its catastrophic 1883 eruption which resulted in at least 36000 deaths, primarily due to the resulting massive tsunamis inundating the surrounding coastlines. The eruption reshaped Krakatau, destroying most of the pre-1883 edifice. Krakatau is located in the shallow waters of the Sunda Strait over a brittle zone in the lithosphere, where a NNE trending volcanic fault zone meets a fracture zone running in a NNW - SSE direction along which all historical volcanism at Krakatau has taken place. The Sunda Strait is seismically and tectonically active and marks a transition zone between the Sumatra and Java fault zones which are both associated with subduction of the Indo - Australian Plate under the South East Asian Plate upon which Krakatau is located. Krakatau is an unusual stratovolcano which appears to cycle through basaltic, basic andesitic, acidic andesitic and dacitic phases. Each of these cycles is thought to culminate in a massive destructive dacitic eruption before the cycle recommences at the basaltic stage (Camus et al., 1987. J. Volc. Geotherm. Res. 33, p.299-316).
In 1927, submarine eruptions marked the birth of Anak Krakatau (Child of Krakatau) which has since risen out of the sea as a result of multiple eruptions, reaching a height of around 300 meters today. The following text deals with Anak Krakatau, the 1883 eruption, and the eruption that last significantly shaped the Krakatau complex before 1883. The controversy surrounding the tsunami generation mechanism in 1883 and regarding the previous massive eruption (probably in 416 AD) is addressed.
Have a pleasant visit, and may God bless you.....!!!
