Anak Krakatoa

(English: Child of Krakatoa) is an island in a caldera in the Sunda Strait between the islands of Java and Sumatra in the Indonesian province of Lampung.

Anak Krakatau, which means child of Kratakau, is the offspring of the famous Krakatau volcano, whose monumental eruption in 1883 triggered a period of global cooling.

In 1927, Anak Krakatoa emerged from the caldera formed in 1883 by the explosive volcanic eruption that destroyed the island of Krakatoa.
