Anak Krakatau erupts again: could 1883’s Krakatoa disaster recur?

Indonesia’s Mount Anak Krakatau has erupted again, spewing ash plumes that disrupted hundreds of flights. The piece revisits Krakatoa’s devastating 1883 eruption—one of history’s loudest blasts that triggered deadly tsunamis and a temporary global cooling—before noting that Anak Krakatau remains active but current data do not indicate a collapse large enough to trigger a tsunami. The main risk today is airborne ash and aviation disruption, with authorities conducting weather-modification efforts to remove ash from the atmosphere.

Jakarta Flights Return After Anak Krakatau Activity Dims

Flights to and from Jakarta have resumed after renewed activity at Anak Krakatau in the Sunda Strait. Authorities had kept people away from the crater and maintained high alert due to ongoing volcanic risk; the 2018 eruption of the same system triggered a deadly tsunami. Indonesia sits along the Pacific Ring of Fire with many active volcanoes, but travel is gradually returning to normal as conditions stabilize.

Anak Krakatau eruption shutters Indonesia's airports amid heavy ash clouds

Anak Krakatau erupted, prompting the closure of Jakarta’s Soekarno-Hatta and Halim Perdanakusuma airports and disrupting several other Indonesian airports after ash plumes rose to as high as 20,000–50,000 feet. Airspace was closed, causing about 467 flight movements at Jakarta’s airport and affecting roughly 150,000 passengers. There were no reported casualties, and authorities warned people to stay away from the crater while volcanology agencies monitor ongoing activity. The eruptions, ongoing since July, have prompted continued aviation disruptions across western Indonesia.

Air Traffic Grounded as Anak Krakatau Eruption Shrouds Jakarta in Ash

Volcanic ash from Mount Anak Krakatau halted operations at Jakarta’s Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, suspending hundreds of flights (including 58 international) and prompting alternative landing plans as ash clouds reached up to 6,000 m over Java and up to 15,000 m toward Sumatra and Banten. Singapore Airlines canceled Jakarta flights for the day; BNPB said there is no tsunami risk and considered cloud-seeding to wash away ash.

Flights Grounded as Anak Krakatau Erupts, Ash Clouds Drift Over Java

Indonesia grounded flights after the Anak Krakatau volcano erupted, sending ash clouds to altitudes of about 20,000–50,000 feet that drifted toward Jakarta, Banten, West Java and surrounding waters; travelers were urged to check airline status. The eruption, from Krakatau’s offspring, has left the island reduced to roughly a quarter of its former size and the region remains on high alert in the wake of a deadly 2018 tsunami linked to the volcanic system.

Anak Krakatau volcano erupts, spewing ash and lava.

Indonesia's Anak Krakatau volcano has erupted, spewing ash as high as 2 miles into the air. The volcano island located in Indonesia’s Sunda Strait between the main Java and Sumatra islands has erupted at least seven times since late Friday. There were no casualties reported in the latest eruption and no evacuation order was issued. Anak Krakatau island is now only about a quarter of its original size since the 2018 eruption and collapse.

Anak Krakatau volcano erupts, spewing ash and lava.

Indonesia's Anak Krakatau volcano has erupted at least seven times since late Friday, spewing ash as high as 3 kilometers into the air. The volcano island, located in Indonesia's Sunda Strait, has been on the second-highest alert since 2018, when a deadly tsunami was caused by the explosive collapse of the mountain. No casualties have been reported in the latest eruption, and no evacuation order has been issued. The nearest settlement is 16 1/2 kilometers away.
