Hi Twitter, a reminder that this is what Krakatau (not Krakatoa, that's the wrong spelling) looks like. If you're shown footage with a large cone erupting that is from before it collapsed in late 2018.
The big cone is gone.
Easy fact check.

You can see the huge difference, when it collapsed in 2018 it completely changed the island shape.

For all the **omg Krakatau had that big eruption once** tweets, this is a SUPER active volcano, producing small eruptions very frequently. You can see the eruption history under the tab here: https://volcano.si.edu/volcano.cfm?vn=262000

A great comparison, thanks @kaylai!
TL;DR Krakatau cone is gone. Krakatau has a huge amount of very small eruptions frequently. Calm down, Twitter. But yes it's super cool!
