The sleeping child awakes....

I have been watching the news of the 'awakening' of Anak Krakatau (child of Krakatoa) over the last week with particular interest. Having visited Indonesia in 2000 and swum ashore there on a day when it was just 'rumbling', it is interesting to see the kind of show it can really put on. Click on the image to read how a Chinese news station has reported the eruption. And next time you're in BH 22, check out the lava bombs and black sand which I collected back in 2000!

Below, for comparison, one of my pics taken in 2000 from almost exactly the same spot.......
