Krakatoa , or Krakatau ( ) , is a caldera in the Sunda Strait between the islands of Java and Sumatra in the Indonesian province of Lampung . The name is also used for the surrounding volcanic island group ( Krakatoa Archipelago ) comprising four islands : two of which , Lang and Verlaten , are remnants of a previous volcanic edifice destroyed in eruptions long before the famous 1883 eruption ; another , Rakata , is the remnant of a much larger island destroyed in the 1883 eruption
