Rakata

[1]" Rakata is a volcanic cone with its northern face being a vertical cliff, exposing much of its eruptive history.

In his portrayal of the catastrophe, Rogier Verbeek depicts that Rakata's northern half was destroyed, along with the central part of the island, during the largest explosion, which occurred at 10:02 am on 27 August.

Verbeek surmised that unlike Danan and Perboewatan, Rakata was not directly above the magma chamber, being connected only by a fissure which lay along the cleavage line of the caldera.

However, most of the increased area (largely to the west and southeast) was washed away within several years by wave action.

Due to the severity of the eruption, leaving very little flora and fauna alive, Rakata has been used as a modern study on biological island colonization.
