Geology of Krakatoa?

We have almost no information re this in our article! By personal recollection, most of the volcanoes in this part of Indonesia are basaltic andesite? --or something similar. Need to have enough silica to make a BIG bang, and a steep(ish) mountain. Ill try to remember to do a bit of research. But maybe someone who knows the area can step in? My sole "boots on the ground" visit was to climb Mt Merapi outside Jogja, ca. 1979. It rained a Lot! --Pete Tillman (talk) 05:01, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Krakatoa erupted 439-40

Krakatoa darkened the Earth 439-40 according to the tree rings. Mass casualties 2600:1700:21F8:DDF:5880:FF25:BED9:141A (talk) 23:21, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Popular Culture

Add a sentence as being featured in Seinfeld Season 3 Episode 19. Seinfeld donates to a charity relif fund for the Krakatoans to impress his date. and is quoted as saying:

Kramer: I'm sorry. I thought it was a legitimate charity. I didn't know you'd get audited Jerry: What was I supposed to do? You knew I was on my first date with Elaine. You come barging in here asking me to contribute money for a volcano relief fund for Krakatoa! Kramer: It was supposed to erupt. JERRY: Those brave Krakatoans East of Java. who sacrifice so much for so long.

There's an episode of 'One step beyond' about a newspaper reporter who hears 4 explosions, loses conscious, and awakes to discover that he's reported the eruption before the news has even reached the US. The programme claims that the story is true.

Before I add the item does anyone know if the story is, at least basically, true? Deke42 (talk) 19:44, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Adding to pop culture references

Season 3 Episode 52b of SpongeBob SquarePants features Squidward Tentacles as superhero Captain Magma who uses the word "Krakatoa" when activating his power. 2603:3020:AB:A000:1D4F:CA4D:C926:98F7 (talk) 21:16, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
