Looting distinct menacing as huge cone on the horizon, Its legendary eruption in August

1883, almost blown away it there top Danad, perbuatan and Rakata. Rakata half part still
remain.

The legendary Krakatau lies only 50 km from Carita beach as the main get to explored
Krakatau, today only a small part of the original volcano remain but when Krakatau blew
itself apart in 1883, in one of the world’s greatest and most catastrophic eruption, the
effect recorded far beyond Sunda strait and it achieved instant and lasting infamy

Thousand of years ago Gunug Krakatau built up cone-shaped mountain which was
destroyed to form a huge caldera over six km across and mostly beneath water level. The
peaks of the rim projected as four small island, Sertung on west and Lang and the Polish
hat on the north-east and Rakata.

Indonesia have most actively volcanic region in the planet most of 70 % volcano in
Indonesia are active. Indonesia has many earth quake and disaster, lying on tectonic and
volcanic plate ( Burmese Plate ) starting From Sumatra – Java - Bali – Irian Jaya
( Caused Volcanic Earth Quake ) , In The Indian Ocean There is Indo – Australian Plate
( Caused Tectonic Earthquake ).Krakatau is in the banding of Burma Plate which wove
underneath and the continental rock crack melted by magma which the high tense and
pressure in the banding area and any other X factor Caused the Krakatau has power more
than 100.000 tons atomic Boom.

The Local fisherman from Java and Sumatra are familiar of Krakatau, they used to
Fishing by Cano and landing to take rest even spend the night here. They was shocked by
the First eruption on May 20th 1883. by their believe that Alijah ( the Genie of Krakatau )
was angry . it was caused many people got sick, Earth quake and many fishes came to
the beach . It’s also make many bird flied a way far from Krakatau. Actually the process
of magma camber in the deep actively moved out to Krakatau. The pressure of magma
chamber make the effect to people got headache and the animal instinct must be stronger
than humans. The earth quake was starting at March 1883. 6 month before Massive
Eruption on Monday Morning August 27th 1883.

1883 at 10.05 am the sky was changed suddenly dark and the lighting blasted, rained by
black sand, ash and dust. in the distance could be seen the thousands of flame rock flied
tossed to the atmosphere from Krakatau , the local peoples said that was Dooms day “
KIAMAT” .the big stone as big as car was land on Carita beach, and many prisoners was
killed by blasted lighting at Tanjung Layar Light house (Ujung Kulon) and the light
house was destroy as well. it was reported later.

Tanjung Layar light house there is prison and 2 miles from light house there is Duct sea
port ( Cibom ) but all was destroyed. To day we can see the ruin of sea port Cibom and
old light house. But the new light house was rebuilt after 1883.

The Java and Sumatra was dense population at that time now even more specially at
coastal town. The Other steamer boat on the beginning of September 1883 was passed

"We'd just gotten out of the jungle of Ujung Kulon and were sailing across the Sunda
Strait to Krakatoa volcano—on the left is Anak Krakatau “the new volcano that
continues to grow from ongoing volcanic activity”. Here, we still on the boat and
opposite the volcano had about 1-2 kilometers 1. miles) to go before we reached the land"
This was our first real view of Anak Krakatau. The other islands, which are also remnants
of the original Krakatoa volcano, are quite high, so when traveling from the South, you
can't see the center cone until you're past Rakata Island. The mass to the left is another
remnant, Sertung Island, which helps you appreciate how enormous the original eruption
must have been." Don’t mist Ujung Kulon And Krakatoa by Java Rhino Eecotour

The Journey to the island takes 1 hours on a good day in a normal fiber glass boat, and
the best time of year to make the trip is between May and October. During the monsoon
season (November to April) the time taken may be very much longer and the journey
uncomfortable, although there may be storms in any month of the year, at this time they
are frequent and the journey can be dangerous. It is advisable to cover up well during the
trip trip-even on overcast days one can badly sun burnt in a open boat at sea.
Keep your eyes open, and you nay see a Frigate Bird soaring high overhead, flicking its
scissor-like tail as it changes direction with hardly a flap of its wings. You will almost
certainly spot flying fish making their long low glides above the sea’s surface. Some of
the them”fly” for tens of metres, and airborne for several second. Dolhin often come to
the greet the boat and play alongside

The three outer island of the present Krakatau group ( Rakata, Sertung and Panjang )
are thought to be the remnants of one previous, huge volcanic island. Called “Ancient
Krakatau ”, it was some 11 km in diameter and 2 km high. According to records in the
Javanese Book of king it exploded and collapsed, perhaps in prehistoric times but
possible as recently as 416 AD. There islands remained on the rim of its submerged, 7 km
diameter, central caldera( collapsed crater ). The southern most these, Rakata grew by
volcanic activity until it was about ( 830m) high and 5 Km in diameter. Two smaller
volcanic island, Danan (450) and Perbuatan (120m) then developed in line and to its
north. There are recorded of seven eruption of Krakatau between the 9 th and the 16th
centuries. By the nineteenth century it was regarded as dormant ( by. Professor. I.W.B.
Thornton, Australia)

Volcanic activity recommenced in May, 1883 and continued into August, the first
eruptions appearing on the northern, Perbuatan volcano. The number of active vents
increased on both the northern volcanoes. On the 26th and 27th August series of
cataclysmic explosions occurred which were heard 3500 miles away as far away as South
Australia and Ceylon, was recorded as of the world’s biggest explosion the force of
100.000 hydrogen bombs, They generated tsunamis (tidal wave) crashed ashore and
devastated hundreds of town and village, reaching almost 10 miles inland in some places.
The resulting killer waves at speed up to a 350 miles per hour and reached height of 135
feet that were registered even in the English Channel, 11.000 miles away and which in
the Sunda strait area were devastating, killing more than 36.000 people. That total
volume of material ejected by the eruption is estimated at some 18 – 21 cubic kilometers,
30 km high into the atmosphere with an ash cloud circling the earth several times.
Causing “ blue suns” and “orange moons “ in Europe and North America. The amount
of the sun’s energy reaching the earth was reduced, and in the year or two that followed,
annual average temperatures in the northern hemisphere were than usual. In the aftermath
of the explosion only about a third of Krakatau remained. The northern two thirds,
including the volcanoes Perbutan and Danan and the northern half of the Rakata
Volcano, were gone. In their place was a collapsed crater (caldera) 200m beneath the sea,
covering an area of about 28 square kilometer. The remaining, southern part of Rakata
was left as approximate half – cone with an almost perpendicular cliff from the summit
(813 m) to the sea, providing a natural, geological section through the volcano.
The other two islands, Sertung and Panjang, were enlarged considerably (Sertung
doubled in size) by the glowing ash and pumice which smothered them to a depth of 30
meters. On Rakata, the south and west coasts were extended almost a kilometer
seawards and the ash layer reached a thickness of 60 m in some areas, although probably
much shallower on the steeper slopes. Weeks after the explosion, rain water turned into
steam as it trickled into crevices and a even month later the surface was too hot for bare
feet. It is believed that all life, plant and animal, was destroyed on the islands. Yet the
three islands are now covered in forest, and over 200 species of higher plants and 36
species of land birds have been found on Rakata in the 1980s.
Forty year after the main explosion, in 1927, volcanic activity was seen in the sea
covering the old caldera, between the sites of the two northernmost former volcanoes of
Krakatau, where the greatest activity had occurred at the time of the cataclysm. A series
of eruption 185 m below the surface of the sea resulted in the emergence of three new
islands, one after the other. They were all son destroyed by surf. A fourth emerged from
the sea on August 12th 1930. It remained above water, and was aptly named Anak
Krakatau ( child of Krakatau ). This young and active volcano has been growing around
6 feet a year and still continues doing so. It grew by the accumulation of ash, and suffered
a devastating eruption in 1952, and other very destructive one in 1971. It is now 300 m
high and 5 Km in diameter, and is still active spurting fire and cinder, this like moonlike
landscape. It is lonely volcanic island in the middle of the sea. The northeast coast, north
foreland and east foreland are now vegetated; the succession of vegetation is still at an
early stage, Casuarinas equisetifolia (cemara) being the dominant tree.

Panjang, formally called Land island, and some times known as Rakata Kecil, was never
part of Krakatau, but was once a part of Krakatau’s huge predecessor “ Ancient
Krakatau” Like Rakata and Sertung, it was covered in tens of meters of hot ash in August
1883, and this has been eroded over the past century into v-shaped gulley’s separated by
sharp ridges. Like the other two islands, it is now covered in forest. Some of the valleys
are now “hanging”, because the ash cliff has been cut back by the action of the sea so that
the valley floor now opens at a considerable height above the shore. To your right, on the
south western point at Panjang, the lava rock of “ancient Krakatau” can be seen near the
base of a small cliff.
Now, to your left as you round its northern point, Rakata’s huge vertical cliff towers
above you again, towards its base, the layers of ancient Krakatau’s lava rocks may be
seen, with ash layers between them, evidence of successive eruptions centuries ago,
Casurainas (cemara) cling to the cliff, they cannot tolerate shade, and on most other parts
of the island they have been overgrown and thus eliminated by other forest trees.
Landslides are frequent on this cliff face is not the former vent of the volcano, but a
landslide channel from close to the summit. Piles of rubble, the result of landslides, can
be seen at the base of the cliff. At the far end of the cliff are the black rock of Zwarte
Hoek.

As the boat moves under the cliff, rembered that you are traveling over the submerged
caldera of Krakatau. The cliff continues almost vertically under the water below you to a
depth of about 200 metres. To your right, if the sea is calm, you may be to see
Bootsmanrots behind you. These rocks, often with seabirds, usually terns, roosting on the
them are a favorite spot for shark fisherman, and shark’s fins can occasionally be seen
cutting the waters over the caldera. The rock are Krakatau’s caldera rim which projects
above the water at this point. Apart from Rakata itself, they are the only other piece of
Krakatoa visible above water today. Of course, no one could have been in this place
before August 1883. Our boats is traveling along a line which at the time would have
been covered by thousands of tons of the island Krakatau, which extended far to the north
beyond the island Anak Krakatau to your right.
Moving past Zwarte Hoek and heading towards Sertung, you will notice, beyond the
point to your left, a long sandy beach where the green turtle (Chelone mydas) nests, and
just out to sea two large isolated ‘stacks’, one of which has been perforated by the sea.
These light-colored cliff strakes, and the cliff along Turtle beach, are composed of ash
deposited in the 1883 eruption of ash that covered the island at that time. The stacks have
been able to persist because they are on a basement of lava which has prevented the sea
washing them away. Ahead is Sertung, the third member of the trio of islands that are
remnants of the huge “ Ancient Krakatau” volcano. Sertung was enlarged by Krakatau’s
1883 eruption to more than twice its size, and is now virtually composed of ash from that
eruption.

To your right is the presently active volcanic island, Anak Krakatau, “child of Krakatau”.
This is an apt name. for the island emerged from the sea in 1930 from Krakatau’s caldera,
roughly in line with its three former volcanic craters and between the sites of the two
northern ones. The lava field you see is composed of a number of different flows, the
most recent one (1980) being the darkest. Lava did not appear until some time in the
1960s, and this was important in protection the rest of the island from erosion by the
southwestern currents. Before by the southwestern currents. Before the 1960s Anak
Krakatau had emitted ash only, but at such a rate and frequently enough for it to grow, in
spite of the marine erosion.
As you pass north along the east coast of sertung, you will see the PHPA post in the trees
near the shore, below what is probably the only permanents spring on the islands. A few
hundred meters beyond the PHPA building the vegetation changes quite abruptly from
mixed secondary tropical forest to a Casuarina (cemara) woodland. The cemara are
growing on very young part of Sertung, its northern narrow tongue or ‘spit’. The spit
has been formed by the sea wearing away the ash cliffs of Sertung’s west coast, and the
southern currents carrying the material to Sertung’s northern point and depositing it area.
The spit is ‘ moving’ – the beach that you see is being added to, and if you have time to
walk the 100 meters or so across the narrow neck of the spit you will see that the west
cost is being cut back by the surf. So the cemara trees, which were also an early stage in
the colonization of Rakata by plants, are never subject-ad to shade by other forest trees
because the ‘spit’ on which they grow never becomes old enough for the other trees to
establish themselves. In fact, at the present rate of movement, no particular point on the
spit can ever become more than 10 to 20 years old before becoming part of the west cost,
and being washed away.
As you leave Sertung and move back towards the northern foreland of Anak Krakatau,
with Rakata’s cliff looming up beyond in the middle distance, submerged remains of
Krakatau itself. Anak Krakatau is large barren, being made up of ash fields or lava, but on
the northern foreland you can see a number of cemara trees and an extensive grass land
os “alang – alang” and wild sugarcane. This grassland was a very early stage (before the
cemara) in the plant colonization of the other islands, and the process is being repeated
here on Anak Krakatau. Moving around to Anak Krakata’s landing beach on the eastern
foreland, you see more cemara woodland-this foreland is at a later stage of plant
succession than the northern one.
Going ashore, you will notice other trees and sapling here and there among the cemara
and wild sugarcane – the forest is beginning to change to mixed secondary forest. Two
species of fig trees are present, and they were first seen fruiting in 1985. There are three
species of bats on the island (of a total of 11 on the archipelago), two kinds of Dog-faced
fruit Bat and a Rousette . All there are fig eaters. Also two species of fruit-eating pigeons
(pink-necked Pigeon and cuckoo Dove) as well as the yellow-vented Bulbul and the
striking, yellow and black, black-napped. Oriole now live on the island. These birds and
bats spreads figs by drooping or excreting their seeds, and probably were responsible for
bringing the fig species to the Krakatau from the mainland, and to Anak Krakatau from
other islands. They will probably bring more fig mixed forest is likely to accelerate in the
next few years.
You may see the bright yellow breast of the tiny Olive-backed sunbird as it seeks nectar
and insects, clicking as it goes, and perhaps, its nest hanging from a cemara branch. Keep
a lookout also for another very small, yellow-breasted bird, the fly eater, flying from
branch to branch in the cemara, or a small flock of a large bird, the white-breasted Wood-
swallow, perhaps six or seven of them perching together along a high cemara branch.
Almost Kingfisher, greenly-blue with a white ‘collar’. This is one of the most successful
colonists on this islands. It makes nest holes in the large spherical termite nests that you
see here and there in the cemara tree, and noisily and aggressively defends its nest-site
from other intruding birds, such as the wood-swallows.
Only about 14 hectares of Anak Krakatau are vegetated, and you will get an idea what a
small part of the island this is if you climb to the marker on the rim of the outer ash-cone,
a strenuous walk, to be attempted at mid-day only by the fit. Yet this small area of
woodland support about 22 of the 36 species of land birds(not counting migrants) know
on the islands! So of the 36 land bird species that have colonized the island from java and
Sumatra in the hundred years or so since 1883, 22 of them have managed to establish
themselves on Anak Krakatau’s eastern foreland in the past 30 years or so (Anak
Krakatau’s 1952 eruption destroyed all its vegetation) There of the 9 species of reptile on
the islands have also become established on Anak Krakatau. The large, very common
monitor (Varanus salvator) a relatively of the famous Komodo dragon, is a good
swimmer and feeds on crabs and turtle eggs. The common Ceck hack Gecko
, and the ‘flying’ ( really gliding) paradise Tress Snake, have also colonized Anak
Krakatau, the last two probably by means of floating vegetation or logs, which you will
have already noticed are common on the beaches. Only one of the 19 species of land snail
on the islands has yet reached Anak Krakatau – it was first noticed on Rakata in 1933.
There are rats on the archipelago – the Houses rat on Rakata , and the country rat on
Panjang and Sertung. Only one individual ( a House rat) has ever been found on Anak
Krakatau in 1985.

The Tokay (Gecko gecko), which is a gecko-eater, and the Black Eagle, python, and False
vampire bat (which are also predator) are present on the other islands but have not yet
been found on Anak Krakatau, probably they have not colonized it because they do not
yet maybe a sufficient reliably food supply there. Also several forest birds, such as the
Brown-capped Woodpecker and Orange bellied Flower pecker, which require large trees,
have not yet colonized this island although they are present on the others
For the study of change, both physical and ecological change, the Krakatau’s are a natural
laboratory-I fact two laboratories in one. Change both in the archipelago since 1883, and
on Anak Krakatau since 1930, are being studied. So that this work is not made more
difficult by artificial change brought about by humans, please keep to the trails, do not
wander about the archipelago with out a guide, and make sure that you neither bring to,
nor take from the islands any living things (seeds, fruits, insects, etc). Please take yours
refuse back with you, so that other visitor may enjoy the natural beauty and ponder on the
fascinating history of this unique group of island

Ujung Kulon

On the south western tip of the island of Java, where the vast expanse of the Sunda
strait merger is one of Indonesia’s paramount national park, Ujung Kulon, which
meant West Point, possesses an exceptional profile of Indonesia wildness from
forested mountain ranges to coral sea, in the forest of the park the only viable herd
of one – horned Javan Rhinoceros on earth still roams freely as the animal have done
for countless centuries, and bestowed with the status of World Heritage
( Nature ) Site. What makes it even more remark is that the park remain a pristine
haven of nature, on Java, one of the most densely populated island on earth.

In 1921 Ujung Kulon was declared a nature reserve and in 1980 was given the status
of a national park, now protecting an areas of 130.000 ha. With a great variety of
ecosystem ranging from coral reefs abundant with colorful sea life to wild, rugged
coastlines and tranquil, sand beaches sweeping upwards to the densely forested hills.
The primary forest of the Ujung Kulon Peninsula, the mainland Honje Range and the
lowland rainforest of Peucang island are among the finest examples in Java. Beneath
the many species of palms and towering strangling figs with draping roots, delightful
flowers including unique orchid, shelter beneath bamboo stands while the open
grasslands also contribute to the diverse vegetation of the park. Within the park
there has been over 310 species of fauna recorded. Of these the endangered one
horn rhinoceros now total around 60 animals. In contrast to the rarely seen rhino,
wild cattle, barking deer, wild pig, and monkeys are common sightings. Other
primates include crab eating macaque, lemur and the very rare leaf monkey while
leopards, fish eating cats, civets, giants squirrels and porcupines are among the wide
variety of animals to be found within the forest.
The waters of Ujung kulon are home to otters, green turtles and crocodiles; other
reptile conclude reticulated python, frog, and large monitor lizards. The feathered
species are numerous. Hornbills, eagles, bee eaters, bulbuls, barbets, kingfisher, pea
and jungle fowls, darters and drogues are widely distributed across the park and
coastal birds such as herons, egrets, plovers, curlews and thick-knees are among the
well over 200 birds species recorded.

“"Paddling the Cigenter river at Ujung Kulon National Park was an unbelievably
fantastic experience. It's remarkably peaceful and lovely here, yet full of primeval,
Jurassic Park stuff—rain forest and trees that have fallen into the river. The rich
colors of the place are so beautiful, and the strong tropical sun creates great pools of
mottled light on the river's surface."

"We'd just gotten out of the jungle of Ujung Kulon and were cruising across the
Sunda Strait to Krakatoa volcano—on the left is Anak Krakatau “the new volcano
that continues to grow from ongoing volcanic activity”. Here, we still on the boat and
opposite the volcano had about 1-2 kilometers 1. miles) to go before we reached the

remnants of the original Krakatoa volcano, are quite high, so when traveling from the
South, you can't see the center cone until you're past Rakata Island. The mass to the
