The activity does not weaken at Anak Krakatau this April 23.
VAAC Darwin issued a volcanic ash advisory extending southeast from the volcano. The PVMBG reports that the ash emissions are continuous, as is the volcanic tremor, recorded with an amplitude of max. 55 mm., and dominant at 50 mm..
According to a ground observer, the height of the ash cloud is estimated at a minimum of 3,100 meters on 23.04 at 06:08 local time, with an orange VONA confirmed on April 24 at 04:56Z.
Sentinel-5P Tropomi reports a strong sulfur dioxide signal, 38.10 DU 35 km from Krakatau.
In addition to the ash plume, we notice on the webcam a small plume of steam at the edge of the sea, probably corresponding to the entry of lava into the waters.
The activity remains at level 2 / waspada, with a ban on approaching within a radius of 2 km.
