Strong degassing from Krakatau volcano continued on 7 June (image: Andi/VolcanoDiscovery Indonesia)
After two weeks of a calm period with little or no activity, the activity seems to have picked up since 7 June.
Andi, our expedition guide and leader for VolcanoDiscovery Indonesia, visited the volcano recently to observe the current activity.
Emissions of steam and water vapor (so-called degassing) have increased from the cinder cone fumarolic vent accompanied by a continuous low-frequency tremor and shallow volcano-tectonic earthquakes. Additionally, he reported a few glowing spots as well.
