The Geological Agency of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources\nhas urged the public to remain vigilant as volcanic activity at Mount\nAnak Krakatau persists at Level III, or Alert status. The volcano is\nlocated in the Sunda Strait, on the border between South Lampung,\nLampung, and Banten.<\/p>\n
Deny Mardiono, an officer at the Mount Anak Krakatau Observation Post\nof the PVMBG Geological Agency, stated that both visual and seismic\nactivity at the active volcano continues to be recorded. Based on\nobservations made on Wednesday, 8 July, from 12:00 to 18:00 WIB, smoke\nemissions from the active crater were observed rising to heights of tens\nof metres.<\/p>\n
\u201cVisually, the volcano is clearly visible until it becomes covered in\nfog. Weak pressure crater smoke is observed to be white with moderate to\nthick intensity, reaching 10 to 100 metres above the crater peak,\u201d he\nsaid. He added that seismically, the volcanic monitoring authorities\ndetected continuous tremor activity, or microtremors, indicating the\nmovement of magma or fluids within the volcano\u2019s body.<\/p>\n
Meteorological conditions around the Mount Anak Krakatau area, which\nstands 157 metres above sea level, were reported as clear and cloudy.\nAir temperatures in the area ranged from 27.1 to 31.9 degrees Celsius,\nwith humidity between 55 and 65 percent, and weak winds blowing towards\nthe north and northwest.<\/p>\n
He emphasised that although seismic activity and visual smoke\nemissions continue above the crater peak, the surface conditions and sea\nwaves in the surrounding waters are monitored as calm. To anticipate\npotential eruption hazards, the Geological Agency has issued a\nrecommendation for residents, visitors, tourists, and hikers not to\napproach the volcano or conduct activities within a three-kilometre\nradius of the active crater.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/mount-anak-krakatau-remains-on-alert-status-1783515420", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
