trackback
The tireless volcano watchers at Activolcans report that activity continues at Anak Krakatau (’child of Krakatau’), perhaps at slightly lower intensity than recently; low-level eruptive activity has been pretty much continual since October 2007, and the volcano has been at level III (orange) alert since April. Anak Krakatau is a young volcanic cone constructed within the caldera left by the 1883 Krakatau eruption. Since its emergence in 1927 it has been the site of frequent eruptions.
Anak Krakatau is continuously monitored by the Indonesia volcanological authorities, who have a website dedicated to the volcano which reports real-time data: KrakMon Online.
