		Subsequent publications drew comparisons and analogies between Krakatau's explosion/collapse tsunami mechanism with that of the multi-phase explosions and collapses of the volcano of Santorin in the Bronze Age (Pararas-Carayannis, 1973, 1974, 1983, 1992).

	Krakatoa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Krakatoa (Indonesian name: Krakatau) is a volcano near the Indonesian island of Rakata in the Sunda Strait.
		The origin of the spelling Krakatoa is unclear, but may have been the result of a typographical error made in a British source reporting on the massive eruption of 1883.
		Reports in 2005 indicated that activity at Anak Krakatau was increasing.

		Krakatau is an unusual site in many ways, not least in having been the subject of continuing (if intermittent) studies for well over a century.
		Although different forest types have been recognized on the Krakatau islands, these "communities"; are not discrete and forest successional pathways are in practice more complex than the simple summary successional schema reproduced in the text books might be taken to imply.
		The interior forests of the Krakatau islands continue to gain new species of higher plants, and the balance of species in the canopy is undoubtedly in a state of flux, with strong directional shifts in the importance of particular species being evident over the period between 1979 and 1997.

	MSN Encarta - Krakatau
		Krakatau, also Krakatoa or Rakata, small volcanic island, southwestern Indonesia, in the Sunda Strait, between Java and Sumatra.
		Until the night of August 26-27, 1883, Krakatau had an area of 47 sq km (18 sq mi); at that time, a volcanic eruption and its consequent explosions destroyed most of the island, so the present area is only 15 sq km (6 sq mi).
		The eruption produced huge ocean waves called tsunamis that reached an estimated height of 30 m (100 ft) and traveled 13,000 km (8,000 mi); these waves drowned about 34,000 people along the coasts of Java and Sumatra and destroyed incalculable amounts of property.

		Krakatau is a notorious volcano lying in the Sunda Straits between Java and Sumatra which is part of the Indonesian chain of islands.
		There is no human population on the Krakatau group but the Java and Sumatra coastlines are only 40 km away and are low-lying, heavily populated areas of agricultural land with little industry, with the exception of the large city of Jakarta, situated only 120 km from Krakatau.
		Krakatau was widely believed to be extinct, the only records of previous eruptions being in the local peoples culture not actually written down.

		The renowned volcano Krakatau (frequently misstated as Krakatoa) lies in the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra.
		After a quiescence of less than a half century, the post-collapse cone of Anak Krakatau (Child of Krakatau) was constructed within the 1883 caldera at a point between the former cones of Danan and Perbuwatan.
		Anak Krakatau is undergoing relatively quiet periods, lasting at least a couple days, punctuated by periods of nearly continuous eruption.

		To determine whether Krakatau was creditworthy from 1988 through 1995, we analyzed financial ratios from 1985 through 1995, consistent with the Department's long standing practice of using three years prior to the year under examination, to address factors B and C. The Department prepared a memorandum in which it analyzed Krakatau's financial ratios.
		Although at verification, we received a copy of a study prepared by Krakatau, as noted in the Verification Report of Krakatau at page 5, the study was prepared on June 20, 1990; however, the Ministry of Finance approved the equity infusion on May 30, 1990, as reported in respondents' responses.
		We disagree with petitioners' arguments that Krakatau was uncreditworthy because it clearly was unable to meet its costs and fixed financial obligations during the period 1985 through 1995 and, hence, was required to obtain debt-to-equity conversions from the GOI in both 1991 and 1995.

	Historical Events - Krakatau, 1883
		The eruption of Krakatau, located in the Sunda straits between the islands of Java and Sumatra in what is now Indonesia, is probably the most famous volcanic eruption in history.
		The 1883 eruption of Krakatau is, as befits the destruction that it caused, one of the most intensively studied in history.
		Different stages of the Krakatau eruption could therefore have involved generation of tsunami by entry of pyroclastic flows into the sea, caldera collapse, submarine explosive eruption, and stratovolcano lateral collapse.

	Krakatau
		And of course the name in itself has symbolic meaning - Krakatau is a volcano on the Indonesian island of, surprisingly, Krakatau.
		In 1995 Krakatau was: Raoul Björkenheim: guitar and percussion, Jone Takamäki, saxophones, flute and percussion, Uffe Krokfors, bass and percussion, Affe Forsman, drums and percussion and Ippe Kätkä, drums and percussion.
		Krakatau played one of its last gigs (for the time being at least) at Bar Mary on Nov. 14th, 1999 as a trio with Uffe Krokfors, bass and Affe Forsman, drums and tamboura and, of course, Raoul on a huge number of stringed instruments.

		Krakatau filed its letter within the deadline specified for notifying the Department of difficulties faced in responding to the questionnaire in accordance with section 782(c)(1) of the Act and section 351.301(c)(2) of the Department's regulations.
		On April 26, 1999, Krakatau requested that the Department reconsider its April 20, 1999, decision and excuse it from the reporting requirement because of its relatively small shipments of the subject merchandise to the United States during the POI and because the Department in [[Page 41207]] past cases has excused companies under similar circumstances.
		Because the margin we have assigned to Krakatau is 35.01 percent, and thus exceeds 25 percent, we have imputed knowledge of dumping to Krakatau.

		The islands are separated by the Sunda Straits, which is located at a distinct bend in axis of the island arc volcanoes, from a nearly east-west orientation in Java to a northwest-southeast orientation in Sumatra.
		Krakatau is one of a several volcanic islands in the Sunda Straits located above an active north-northeast trending fault zone, an orientation quite distinct from the main island-arc trend.
		One compeling feature of the Krakatau eruption is that the pyroclastic flows appear to have travelled an incredible 40 km across the Sunda Straits, where they remained hot enough to cause the burn-related fatalities on Sumatra.
