Beginning on May 20th, 1883, and ending on October 21st, 1883, the volcanic island of Krakatoa, located in the Sunda Strait, had repeated, months long Plinian eruptions. The most destructive of these eruptions occurred on August 27th, when over 70% of the island and its surrounding archipelago were destroyed when it collapsed into a caldera.
Perboewatan was completely destroyed during the 1883 eruption; the caldera is approximately 250 metres (820 ft) deep at its former location. [1] Photographed on May 27, 1883 by visitors to the island, Perboewatan is the only cone on Krakatoa of which quality pre-1883 photographs exist. In the photos, it appears to be a low hill with a flat top.
Two-thirds of the original Krakatoa Island was obliterated by the 1883 eruption. While seismic activity around the volcano was intense in the years preceding the cataclysmic 1883 eruption, a series of lesser eruptions began on 20 May 1883. The volcano released huge plumes of steam and ash lasting until late August. [30]

Rakata is the last remnant of the original island prior to its destruction.
