Krakatau Erupts up Close!!!! (A real volcanic chain)

Krakatoa (Indonesian: Krakatau), also spelled Cracatoa or Krakatau, is a volcanic island in the Sunda Strait between the islands of Java and Sumatra in Indonesia.

"S/V Ohana Kai takes an up close look at Anak Krakatau and she delivers quite an eruption!!! 10/23/07 This was a day after the first eruptions and we were on our way out of the Caldera. We thought we would go a little closer to get some video in better light and no rain or lighting as there was the first morning. Just as we got within a mile or so she let lose with an eruption that shook the boat and you felt in your chest...Unfortunately our videoing ability is not so great and on a moving boat only makes it worse. It was quite amazing. Hope you all enjoy"
