Krakotoa, east of Java (1969) of Krakatoa, the Last Days (2006)
Toeristen mogen er nog komen hoor Ik ben er deze mei nog geweest, was echt prachtig daar! Als je ooit de kans krijgt moet je daar echt heen. Ik was er 2 dagen en kostte echt niets, 300 euro voor 2 personen incl. eten, gids en verblijf op een van de eilanden ertegenover.quote:Op maandag 8 december 2008 13:25 schreef Frutsel het volgende:

Volgens mij zeiden ze nu dat toeristen er inmiddels niet meer mochten komen. Er was een dode en enkele gewonden gevallen door rondvliegende lavabommen en sindsdien is het 'schluss'
quote:Krakatau erupts also
Indonesia's Anak Krakatau volcano in Sunda Strait, straddling East Java and Sumatra, has spewed ash and flaming rocks.
Officials raised alert levels to 'high' on Friday as the volcano showed signs of increased activity, producing 117 small eruptions.
Staff at the observation post in Pasauran, Banten Province are on a 24-hour watch. Residents in Pasauran have been told to stay at least two kilometres away from the volcano.
Anak Krakatau means 'Child of Krakatau', named so because it rose in the place of Krakatoa volcano after it blew itself apart in one of the most destructive eruptions in history in 1883. The area is a popular tourist site and many villagers farm on the slopes of nearby Ibu Krakatau (Mother of Krakatau) on the same island.
"Until now we are still on alert level but when we examined our equipment on October 27 and 28 we experienced tremors," said Anton Priambudi, a volcanologist observing Anak Krakatau.
Several volcanos in Indonesia increased their activities recently following Mount Merapi's eruption on Tuesday.
The eruptions came only a day after a tsunami struck the remote islands in western Indonesia.
Krakatau vulkaan blijft erg aktiefquote:Child of Krakatoa Volcano Active Every Five Minutes
TEMPO Interactive, Serang:Uninterrupted activity from Child of Krakatau volcano are causing continuous tremors. “There is a tremor every five minutes,” said the Child of Krakatau head of surveillance post, Anton Tripambudi, told Tempo yesterday.
According to Anton, the quake activities occur 600-900 times a day on average. From the data acquired by the Child of Krakatau monitoring post in Pasauran village, Serang, it is known that there were a total number of 811 quakes yesterday.
The condition of the Child of Krakatau, he said, is still on level II alert. This is not harmful as long as the community follows regulations and do not approach the mountain within the radius of two kilometers. “So far, the status for Child of Krakatoa has not been raised, because the strength of the tremors is still fluctuating,” he said.
quote:The thick brown plume of ash, steam and volcanic gas rising from Anak Krakatau in this true-color image is a common sight at the volcano. Responsible for one of the largest and most destructive eruptions in Indonesia’s history, Krakatau still erupts frequently. For this reason, the volcano is one of 100 that NASA automatically monitors with the Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) satellite, as detailed in the Earth Observatory’s new feature article, Earth Observing-1: Ten years of innovation.
Throughout the summer and fall of 2010, Krakatau erupted hundreds of times a day, but by November 17, when the Advanced Land Imager (ALI) on NASA’s Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) satellite took this image, activity at the volcano had started to slow. The image was taken as part of Volcano SensorWeb, a program that automatically schedules the ALI and Hyperion sensors on EO-1 to image volcanoes when other satellites detect signs of activity. ALI provides a detailed, photo-like view useful for tracking ash, while Hyperion records the temperature and position of lava flows.

Indahnesia.comquote:Mount Krakatau ash clouds reach up to two kilometers
ANYER - The height of the ash clouds that are currently being emitted by the Mount Krakatau volcano is still increasing and reaches almost up to two kilometers now. The volcano, located in the Sunda Strait between the islands of Java and Sumatra, also shows an increase in the amount of tremors inside the belly of the volcano.
Based on visual observations of the volcano, ash clouds now reach up to 1.700 meters and above, higher than in the past few days. This was reported by the head of the observation post for the Krakatau volcano in the village of Pasauran in Serang, Banten province, Anton S. Pambudi. He also said that the higher ash cloud was due to increased activity inside the volcano.
The Agency for Volcanology and Geological Disasters PVMBG is maintaining the alert status of the volcano for the time being; level two. People near the volcano are not allowed to come close to the crater of the volcano. There is a chance that volcanic material falls from the sku in the area. The Mount Krakatau volcano often emits small stones that fall down on it's slopes.
Met dank aan: Indonesiepaginaquote:SERANG - De Krakatau vulkaan liet afgelopen zaterdag wederom flinke activiteit zien. Het gloeiend hete gesteente dat door de vulkaan werd uitgestoten bereikte een hoogte van 75 meter. De activiteit in de vulkaan neemt dan ook nog altijd verder tot. Deze observaties werden gedaan vanaf de observatiepost voor de vulkaan in Serang in het uiterste westen van Java.
Volgens Anton Pambudi, hoofd van de observatiepost waren er gedurende zaterdag bijna 900 trillingen gemeten in alle soorten en maten, van magmatische trillingen tot enkele tektonische trillingen. Deze hebben allemaal invloed op de activiteit van de vulkaan. De explosies die de vulkaan met enige regelmaat produceert zijn bovendien ook te voelen op de observatiepost, op zo'n 50 kilometer afstand van de krater van de vulkaan.
De alarmstatus van de Krakatau vulkaan staat nog altijd op niveau twee. Vooralsnog is er geen directe aanleiding om deze status te verhogen. De waarnemingen die gedaan zijn, zijn zoals te verwachten bij activiteit van de Krakatau vulkaan en vooralsnog zijn er geen vreemde dingen waargenomen die kunnen duiden op een groot gevaar.
quote:Indonesia volcano prompts evacuation plan but coffee ok
BANDAR LAMPUNG, Indonesia (Reuters) - Indonesian authorities have made plans to evacuate tens of thousands of residents from Lampung on southern Sumatra if a rumbling volcano gets worse, but officials saw little impact on production in the coffee-rich area, they said on Tuesday.
Abdul Shomad, head of the disaster mitigation agency in South Lampung regency, said the government had made plans to evacuate around 40,000 people from 32 villages to guard against the threat of a tsunami in the event of an eruption by Anak Krakatau, in the Sunda Strait between Sumatra and Java.
About 85 percent of Indonesia's coffee comes from Lampung, Bengkulu and South Sumatra provinces on the southern end of the island. The country is the world's second-largest producer of robusta, an instant coffee staple, after Vietnam.
Anak Krakatau, or Child of Krakatoa, formed on the site of the giant 1883 explosion of Krakatoa volcano. The original eruption was most of the most violent natural events ever recorded, was heard thousands of miles away and changed the world's weather for several years.
A resulting tsunami killed around 40,000 people.
Indonesia's volcanology agency said the volcano was erupting intensively but posed no immediate danger.
"The impact on coffee production is likely minimum because there are very few coffee plantations there," Sumita, head of marketing division at the Indonesian Coffee Exporter Association (AEKI) Lampung branch, told Reuters.
He said the volcano was also far from the main Panjang port and the coffee-belt in western Lampung.
Indonesia, an archipelago of 18,000 islands on the seismically active Pacific "ring of fire", frequently suffers volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and related tsunamis.
quote:Krakatau blijft actief
SERANG - De Krakatau vulkaan in de Sunda Straat tussen de eilanden Sumatra en Java laat keer op keer zware dreunen horen. Deze dreunen zorgen er op het meest nabije vasteland, bij Anyer op bijna 50 kilometer afstand, voor dat de ramen trillen. Het hoofd van de observatiepost voor de vulkaan bevestigde de doorlopende dreunen.
Anton S. Pambudi, hoofd van de observatiepost, liet weten dat gedurende dinsdag er in totaal vier dreunen te horen waren. De ramen op de obseratiepost trilden in totaal zes keer. Ook gisteren werden er meerdere dreunen geregistreerd. Ook wordt soms geen dreun gehoord, maar zijn de trillingen van binnenin de vulkaan wel te horen.
De trillingen die door de vulkaan geproduceerd worden, maar niet kunnen worden waargenomen op basis van de gevoelde trillingen worden nog altijd niet gemeten. Dit probleem wordt veroorzaakt door het feit dat de zonnepanelen van de meetapparatuur op de hellingen van de vulkaan onder de as zitten.
Dit probleem doet zich nu al ruim twee weken voor. Mede om deze reden is de status van de vulkaan nog altijd gehandhaafd op niveau twee. Inwoners en bezoekers in de buurt van de vulkaan moeten twee kilometer afstand houden tot de krater van de vulkaan. De vulkaan stoot bij tijden aswolken uit tot een hoogte van 1.200 meter.
