A 40 HP Diesel-powered fishing vessel dashed trough the Sunda Strait waves after leaving the West Banten coast village of labuan for Anak or lesser Krakatau. The little boat was bounding west. After two hours sailing the Sunda Strait current increased in streght and the wooden vessel had been dashed somewhat westward.
Krakatau's eruptive activity reawakened as submarinu on December 29th, 1927, and after several brief pf longer cyclus of erosion and denudation the volcano finally rose above sea level definitely between Augst 11th - September 10th, 1930 as Anak Krakatau IV.
Krakatau was studied from September 10 - 12. The 1883 eruption produced a large non - walded ignimbrite deposit (ash - flow) which covers large areas of Rakata, Sertung and Rakata Islands. We landed on all three islands at accesible points and axamined coastal exposures of the 1883 deposit.
The Sunda Strait is narrow and shallow in the eastern part, but wide and deep in the western part. The strait connects the Jawa Sea and the Indian Ocean. It is filled with mixed saline water from the Jawa Sea during all months but November, so that virtually no influence of the Indian Ocean is noted in the western part of the Jawa Sea (Suriaatmadja 1956).
Menurut Verbeek (1885) dan Escher (1919) seperti disimpulkan oleh Neumann Van Padang (1951), sebuah gunungapi mungkin setinggi 2000 meter telah dihancurkan, meninggalkan sebuah kaldera dan tiga buah sisa - sisa, yang masih tampak di dasar pulau - pulau pada waktu ini, ialah Rakata, Pulau Sertung dan Pualu Panjang ( Pulau Rakata Kecil).
Tiap letusan gunungapi tipe Plinian merupakan suatu cobaan alamiah yang dapat merubah mukabumi serta kehidupan flora dan fauna secara luas. Ciri letusan tersebut tidak ada bandingannya dengan eksperimen yang pernah dilakukan manusia, demikian diucapkan Ernst (1907), seorang akhli botani Swiss setelah kunjungannya di kepulauan Krakatau tahun 1906 bersama-sama dengan Backer (Bogor), Campbell (Cal…
