Heavy and illuminated emissions of ash indicate the fountaining activity at Krakatau in the night of 5 December (image: PVMBG)
The eruptive period at the volcano persists.
Vulcanian eruptions continue to produce ash abundant emissions that rose to an altitude between 5,000 ft-7,000 ft (1500 m-2100 m) and drifted north throughout past two days.
Another lava-fountaining episode (classified as paroxysm) occurred from the cinder cone during past two nights. Typical glowing steam, copious ash emissions, and incandescent lava bombs dominated the activity.
The warning bulletin states a 5 km exclusion zone around the main crater in place.
