It is between the islands of [[Java]] and [[Sumatra]]. Mount Anak Krakatoa is a leftover piece of Mount [[Krakatoa]], which erupted in 1883.<ref>{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=Serunya Berpetualang ke Anak Gunung Krakatau {{!}} Dinas Pariwisata Provinsi Banten|url=https://dispar.bantenprov.go.id/Destinasi/topic/119|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210123003311/https://dispar.bantenprov.go.id/Destinasi/topic/119|archive-date=2021-01-23|access-date=2021-01-16|website=dispar.bantenprov.go.id|url-status=dead}}</ref> After the eruption of Krakatoa, new volcanic activity began on the bottom of the ocean along the same line as the previous volcanoes. In early 1928, a new volcano grew until its top came above the water. By 1930 it had become a small island. The volcano has been active sporadically since that time. The volcano has continued to grow to an elevation of about 1,000 feet (300 metres) above the sea.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Krakatoa {{!}} Location, Eruption, & Facts|url=https://www.britannica.com/place/Krakatoa|access-date=2021-01-16|website=Encyclopedia Britannica|language=en}}</ref> It has became famous because it [[2018 eruption of Anak Krakatoa|erupted in 2018]], causing a [[tsunami]] that killed many people and damaged buildings and property.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Grilli|first1=Stephan T.|last2=Tappin|first2=David R.|last3=Carey|first3=Steven|last4=Watt|first4=Sebastian F.
