Volcanic activity did not stop after the island of Krakatoa collapsed in the cataclysmic eruption of 1883. Lava and ash started spewing from a new underwater vent. The new rock accumulated on the ocean floor until a new island emerged where Krakatoa once stood. The island continues to grow as eruptions add new material.
