Krakatoa, or Krakatau, is an uninhabited volcanic island in the Sunda Strait, between the islands of Java and Sumatra. The eruption in August 1883 caused massive tsunamis, killing more than 36,000 people on surrounding islands. After the eruption most of the island was gone. Krakatau is still very much alive and active.
