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]
In May 1883, after years of intense seismic activity in the Sunda Strait, the massive volcano on the uninhabited island of Krakatoa exploded in a furious eruption. It sent a cloud of ash 50 miles ...
Perboewatan (also spelled Perbuatan or Perbuwatan; apparently a Malay word of uncertain derivation) was one of the three main volcanic cones (the others being Danan and Rakata) on the island of Krakatoa (or Krakatau), in the Sunda Strait, in Indonesia. It was the lowest (121 m) and northernmost of the cones.
