In 1815 Tambora caused “The Year Without a Summer”, and in 1883 Krakatoa was responsible for the loudest noise in recorded history! We anchored there just after a more recent explosion in 2018 blew the top off Anak Krakatoa (see link below).
Yes, there is fear, but like the people who live here, you learn to put it out of your mind.
As part of the Pacific ‘Ring of Fire’, the Sunda Arc is often on the move with earthquakes being recorded most days. We don’t notice them when sailing, but you can feel the earth shaking when you go ashore…
