The Mount Anak Krakatau eruption is seen from the KRI Torani 860 Navy vessel while sailing in the Sunda Strait, Lampung, Tuesday (1/1/2019). The Center for Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation said that the status of Mount Anak Krakatau was still at level III (alert).

JAKARTA, KOMPAS -- The surface of Mt. Anak Krakatau is constantly changing following the landslide that triggered the tsunami on Dec. 22. Eruptions and landslides persist, but no subsequent tsunami has been recorded. Earthquakes in the Sunda Strait are another potential source of tsunamis.

“Analysis of satellite images up to Dec. 31 at 6:23 p.m. shows that the surface [of the mountain] has changed,” Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT) researcher Agustan said in Jakarta on Tuesday (1/1/2019).
