Lang Island

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lang Island (Dutch: "Long"; modern Indonesian: Rakata Kecil or Panjang) lies in the Sunda Strait, between Java and Sumatra, in Indonesia. It is one of the Krakatoa Islands, near the famous volcano. Lang sufferered only slightly in the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa; in fact it actually grew quite a bit in area from massive pumice fall, although most of the additional area washed away within several years.

Lang seems to be a rather hilly island.
