Okay from what we have found out so far 2012, it looks like Krakatoa is a super volcano.
Pre 1883
The was a earlier Caldera forming eruption, which split the main land of Java and Sumatra apart. This lead to the formation of the Sunda Straits. (super eruption)
416 AD
Krakatoa was again mentioned in the book of kings.
In recent eruptions it has not had a large super eruption, but as we all know who like the story of Krakatoa it 'child' Anakrakatoa is a source of concern.
So there's my answer circa 2012 :0)
Krakatoa is not classified as a super volcano. It is a volcanic island located in Indonesia and is known for its explosive eruptions in 1883. Super volcanoes are characterized by having eruption magnitudes of 8 or higher on the Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI), which Krakatoa does not meet.
No. Krakatoa as produced some very large eruptions, but it falls short of a supervolcano.
