Krakatau, eine kleine Inselgruppe in der Sundastraße zwischen den Inseln Sumatra und Java, ist einer der berühmtesten Vulkane der Welt. Es handelt sich um eine meist untergetauchte Caldera mit 3 äußeren Randzonen und einem neuen Kegel, Anak Krakatau, der seit 1927 eine neue Insel bildet und nach wie vor sehr aktiv ist.
Krakatau explodierte spektakulär in einem verheerenden Plinianischen Ausbruch von 1883, bei dem mehr als 30.000 Menschen getötet wurden (meistens durch den riesigen Tsunamis, der durch den Ausbruch ausgelöst wurde). Der Ausbruch war eines der ersten globalen Nachrichtenereignisse, nachdem Telegrafenlinien die verschiedenen Kontinente miteinander verbunden hatten.
Caldera 813 m (2,667 ft.) / Anak Krakatau: 189 m
Sunda Strait, Indonesia, -6.1°S / 105.42°E

Moment of the explosion at Anak Krakatau last night (image: VSI webcam) The volcano remains active. While it has been mostly comparably most of the time, it is emitting lots of gas and steam, probably small explosions, and at night shows near constant glow. Read more...In addition, a powerful explosion occurred from its crater last night, at 20:54 local time. The eruption lasted only a few minutes and was probably a vulcanian-type event. Glowing lava bombs landed on the outer slope of Anak Krakatau. Here's the event captured by the webcam still operating on the island:

Incandescence from the active crater of Anak Krakatau (image: Magma Indonesia webcam) After last night's paroxysm, activity continues at lower levels. The webcam on the island shows incandescence at the crater and VAAC Darwin reported low-level ash clouds during the day.

Lava fountain at Anak Krakatau last night Last night's violent paroxysm at Anak Krakatau ended abruptly around 08:00 morning local time. Fortunately, the webcam on the island survived the eruption although it seems it was hit by a projectile at 02:33 local time, when it suddenly tilted. Read more...The following timelapse video shows the eruption from beginning to end, allowing the chronology and reconstruction of the various phases of the paroxysm: After dark, at around 20:00 local time, increasingly larger plumes can be seen rising from the new crater of Anak Krakatau, probably emissions of steam and ash generated by the first explosions, likely phreatomagmatic in nature when rising magma pushed its way up to the still partially lake filled crater and leading to explosive interaction between magma and water (phreatomagmatic activity).

Lava fountains from Anak Krakatau this evening (image: MAGMA Indonesia webcam)
A large magmatic eruption is taking place at the volcano right now. Based on satellite imagery, VAAC Darwin spotted a high-level ash and SO2 plume reaching 47,000 ft (15 km) altitude moving WNW. Read more...A strong thermal hot spot is detected as well. Both the webcam on Anak Krakatau Island and from the coast (in 40 km distance) show strong lava fountaining from the volcano. This seems to be the strongest eruptive phase since the violent phreatomagmatic activity following the partial collapse of the volcano on 22 Dec 2018, which had triggered a deadly tsunami that killed hundreds of people on Java's west coast.

Read more...Several small explosions occurred again from the active crater, which is now building a small cone in what is left of the crater lagoon. Steam and ash plumes from the presumably phreatic or phreatomagmatic activity of the crater rose up to several hundred meters height.
