RE: Today in History: Krakatoa volcano erupts, killing 40,000
i have never actually seen it. I'm guessing you have... i mean, like with your eyes. I have had flights booked to Indonesia twice but for various reasons I was unable to actually go.
A few years ago I lived in the Banten Province which borders the Sunda Strait. Several times I crossed the Sunda Strait to Lampung on Sumatra Island so that I could see Mount Rakata clearly. This mountain is still active and continues to grow taller. Some time ago even an earthquake occurred because there was an avalanche from Mt. Rakata again.
And what is even more interesting is the continuing ecological succession. This should be an interesting research object for interested people. Because from the formation of the Rakata mountain, it rises to the surface, there must be implications for the ecosystem there.
Now i live in Klaten, near Jogja. If you have chance you can visit jogja. We also have Merapi Mountain which very active. may be you will have a post about Merapi Mt.
