Anak Krakatau started to erupt again until now
Eruption with ash emission
Verbeek, in his report on the eruption, predicted that any new activity
would manifest itself in the region which had been between Perboewatan
and Danan. This prediction came true on 29 December 1927, when evidence
of a submarine eruption was seen in this area (an earlier event in the
same area had been reported in June 1927). A new island volcano, named
Anak Krakatau or Child of Krakatoa rose above the waterline a few days
later. The eruptions were initially of pumice and ash, and that island
and the two islands that followed were quickly eroded away by the sea.
Eventually a fourth island named Anak Krakatau broke water in August
1930, and produced lava flows faster than the waves could erode them. Of
considerable interest to volcanologists, this has been the subject of
extensive study.
