Authorities have warned that the crater of Anak Krakatau, or child of Krakatau, remains fragile, raising fears of another collapse and tsunami, and have urged residents to stay away from the coast. The national geological agency, in raising the alert level to the second-highest, set a 5-km exclusion zone around the island. “All flights are rerouted due to Krakatau volcano ash on red alert,” Indonesia’s air traffic control agency AirNav said in a release. Anak Krakatau is the island that emerged from the area in 1927 and has been growing ever since. I didn’t get information from anywhere,” he said, adding there had been little help for residents since disaster struck.
