Krakatau volcano: eruption Oct 2018 - miscellaneous
Along with a small group, Tom Pfeiffer stayed on the island group during a Volcano Special tour from 13-19 Oct. Some impressions from the volcano and the tour:
Krakatoa explodes In the afternoon of 17 Oct, a particularly violent explosion occurred at Anak Krakatau, blasting away a portion of the southern crater rim. A similar event might have been the final trigger for the catastrophic landslide that let the cone collapse and cause a devastating tsunami on 22 Dec 2018.
