Satellite view documents Anak Krakatau’s September eruption
NASA has published a Landsat view of ash and volcanic gases rising from Anak Krakatau, between Java and Sumatra.
The source was published on 16 September and identifies the satellite observation as 5 September. It describes the eruption earlier in the month, not a new eruption today. The conceptual illustration here is not satellite evidence or a current hazard map.
