1. Krakatau is the child of Krakatoa?

Seem to remember that a new volcano has grown from the same fissures that gave the world Krakatoa. Is my memory correct?

3. Anak Krakatau is, I believe, Child of Krakatau (i.e., Krakatoa). nt

2. Spectacular - notice the lightning in the ash

History of the volcano:

The 1883 eruption of Krakatoa (Krakatau) in the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia) began on the afternoon of Sunday, 26 August 1883 (with origins as early as May of that year), and peaked on the late morning of Monday, 27 August 1883, when over 70% of the island and its surrounding archipelago were destroyed as it collapsed into a caldera. Additional seismic activity was reported to have continued until February 1884, though reports of seismic activity after October 1883 were later dismissed by Rogier Verbeek's investigation into the eruption. The 1883 eruption was one of the deadliest and most destructive volcanic events in recorded history. At least 36,417 deaths are attributed to the eruption and the tsunamis it created. Significant additional effects were also felt around the world in the days and weeks after the volcano's eruption

8. My understanding is that the ash in the atmosphere caused Maine to...

... have at least one day of snow every month of the year and launched a lot of migration west. I've heard this a number of times and have never heard it contradicted, but I can't swear to the veracity.
