I was in Indonesia in May of this year and had a day free for sightseeing so I took a boat tour out to Krakatoa. The boat had to stop twice to remove plastic bags from the propellers. Arriving at the shattered remains of the volcano was picturesque with the three remaining remnant islands covered in greenery and the new Anak Krakatoa island rising in steam from the middle of the caldera. It was gorgeous until the boat arrived at the black sand beach and we had to wade through 5 meters of rubbish to reach the shore.
Thank you for your first-hand account. Krakatoa musta been amazing.
