Anak Krakatau erupts in Indonesia; experts downplay 1883 repeat

Anak Krakatau, the volcano that emerged after the catastrophic 1883 Krakatau eruption, has been erupting since Friday. Volcanology professor Karen Fontijn (VUB) states that this does not imply a repeat of the 1883 catastrophe, which killed tens of thousands and caused global climate effects. The eruption is ongoing, but the immediate threat level and potential for major disruption remain uncertain.
