Anak Krakatau really means "Child of Krakatau." Anak Krakatau first broke the surface around 1927 but eroded away. It eroded away two more times and the final immersion was in 1930. It is currently 500m high and has been rising since. Every year, Anak Krakatau rises about 6m and is currently about 200m above sea level. Its diameter measures about 2km.
