If there is no pole shift, we may expect only more of the ongoing series of 32 or so eruptions that have occurred since the appearance of the island of (Anak) Krakatau in 1927-1930. Anak means "child of" Krakatau. This terminology is used by only a few volcanologists. Most simply use Krakatau, and that is what we have done as well. These eruptions have had VEIs of mostly 1 and 2. Explosive lava-flow activity in the volcano's crater characterized most of the eruptions.4
