Indonesia’s Anak Krakatoa volcano erupted today, causing a huge 3,000-meter-high ash cloud between the islands of Java and Sumatra.
“We are currently witnessing continuous eruptions with dense clouds rising between 500 and 3,000 meters above the summit,” Denny Martiono of the Geological Survey of Indonesia told AFP.
Anak Krakatoa, or “child of Krakatoa”, a volcanic island from the Krakatoa volcano has erupted at least 21 times in recent weeks, but today’s eruption is the strongest, Martiono said.
Authorities ordered residents to avoid a two-kilometer blockade around the volcano, whose activity has been classified as level 2 of the alarm on a 4-level scale. They also advised the locals to wear a mask to protect themselves from the ashes.
“People, including tourists, should follow the recommendations of the Geological Survey, which prohibits being within a radius of two kilometers from the crater,” he said.
