The gravity survey on Krakatau Islands was first carried out by means of a land gravimeter in 1968 ( Yokoyama and Hadikusumo, 1969) and was supplemented by the present authors in 1982. The gravity points on the islands has reached 40 in number.
Krakatau Volcanic Complex located in Sunda Strait, Indonesia, erupted catastrophically in 1883.

The topographic reconnaissance survey was carried out by us in March 15, 1983. The survey has utilized the modest available equipment for surveying, e.i. magnetic geologic compass and range finder. Altimeter was also used to determine the elevation. The survey was done in the morning between 7.00 to 8.00 am.
