Abstract

A two day visit to the Anak-Krakatau on March 15–16, 1963, revealed that dramatic changes have taken place recently in the Anak-Krakatau volcano. A new topographic survey for the major changes in the top area was completed; two maps and several sections showing the growth and changes in the Anak-Krakatau are presented. The former moonshaped crater lake (1960) has completely disappeared and instead lava flows cover the crater floor between the inner cone and the outer ring wall. Lava streams flowed over the lowest south western crater rim and spread fan-wise into the sea. This activity with the production of lava flows must have taken place between 1960 and the beginning of 1963.
