Krakatoa Island

On August 27, 1883, the island of Krakatoa literally exploded due to four volcanic eruptions. The explosions were so intense that they were heard 3,000 miles away, global. the shockwave circled the globe seven times! the island has grown up again and is now known as Anak Krakatau (Son of Krakatau). It remains volcanically active and has been steadily growing larger. Can it be much longerbefore another Krakatoa?
