Even though the island of Krakatoa was destroyed in the 1883 eruption, the magma chamber deep beneath the seafloor remained intact and could still get magma from the mantle. Lava began flowing from a new vent or vents on the seafloor. The resulting rock piled up and formed a new island; Anak Krakatau. The volcano continues to erupt, and add new rock, so the island is growing.

This activity was characterized by intermittent eruptions, including a significant explosion in August 1930. More recently, Anak Krakatoa experienced a major eruption in December 2018, which resulted in a partial collapse of the volcano and triggered a deadly tsunami that affected nearby coastal areas in Indonesia. Subsequent eruptions have continued intermittently, contributing to the ongoing geological activity of the region.
