I know one about Orang Alijieh (spelling unsure), a fire breathing spirit tha lives inside the mountain. It was said that the spirit was angered by the coming of the Dutch colonisers and that was the cause of the explosion of the island in 1883.

  • Krakatoa, or Krakatau, is a volcano near the Indonesian island of Rakata in western Indonesia, in the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra.
  • It lay dormant for almost 200 years until rumblings began in May, 1883. Then on August 26, the first major explosion was heard. On 27 August 1883, three further eruptions followed, with the fourth explosion the most devastating.
  • The northern two-thirds of the island was completely decimated by the explosion. This was followed by the collapse of the unsupported volcanic chambers which formed the huge underwater caldera.
  • The explosion, together with the collapse of the volcano, generated gigantic tsunami waves, some reaching 40m in height above sea level. These caused great destruction, wiping out hundreds of villages and towns along the nearby coasts of Java and Sumatra, and killing over 36,000 people.
  • New islands were formed from the outpouring of ash, rock and lava. Further eruptions at the volcano since 1927 have built a new island, called Anak Krakatau (child of Krakatoa).
