Anak Krakatoa

After leaving our anchorage at Pulau Rakata, the highest part remaining of the volcano that exploded. Sea Bunny headed towards its child, Anak Krakatoa, which emerged from the sea in 1930. It is now 1500 feet high and very much active. One photo shows the Anak Krakatoa in front of Pulau Rakata, the other of Anak Krakatoa alone.
Shall we climb up Anak Krakatoa? Having climbed on black lava in tropical sunshine (or even sub-tropical, Rangitoto, Auckland) we recalled that it is not a terrible pleasant experience and decided - not today.
The rangers had kept out of our way in the eastern anchorage and not told us to leave, as they had with another yacht the day before.
We contented ourselves with photos on such a calm day.
