Convergent plate boundaries and subduction zones: As an oceanic plates collides with another plate, it is subducted and generates volcanism on the overlying plate.

Eruption from close: On 17 Oct, explosions were particularly violent at Anak Krakatau. We show a series of images of a spectacular explosion captured from close range by boat.
