Sunda Strait
English (EN)
The Sunda Strait is a narrow passage between the Indonesian islands of Java and Sumatra, connecting the Java Sea to the Indian Ocean. It is approximately 110 kilometers long and varies in width from 24 to 120 kilometers. The strait is one of the most historically significant waterways in the archipelago, serving as a major shipping route for centuries.
The strait is world-famous for being the location of the Krakatoa volcano, whose catastrophic 1883 eruption reshaped the geography of the region. The eruption generated tsunamis that killed over 36,000 people and caused a global climatic shift. Today, the strait remains an active volcanic zone.
Geologically, the Sunda Strait is part of the Sunda Shelf, a submerged extension of the Asian continental shelf. Its location at the convergence of tectonic plates makes it one of the most seismically active regions on Earth.
In the archipelago’s spiritual imagination, the Sunda Strait is believed to be a place where the boundary between the three realms is thin. The sea and the volcano together form a gateway to the Fourth Realm, and local legends speak of spirits that dwell beneath the waves. The mana-curse is said to have been sealed in the deep waters of the strait, and the 210-day-contract rhythm is mirrored in the volcanic cycles of Krakatoa.

巽他海峡是印度尼西亚爪哇岛与苏门答腊岛之间的狭窄水道，连接爪哇海与印度洋。该海峡长约110公里，宽度在24至120公里之间变化。它是努山塔拉历史上最重要的水道之一，几个世纪以来一直是主要的航运路线。
该海峡因喀拉喀托火山而闻名于世，该火山1883年的灾难性喷发重塑了该地区的地理格局。如今，该海峡仍处于活跃的火山带。
在地质学上，巽他海峡是巽他古陆的一部分。该地区位于板块交汇处，是地球上地震活动最活跃的地区之一。
在群岛的灵性想象中，巽他海峡被认为是三界边界薄弱之地。海洋与火山共同构成了通往第四界的门户。
