  "account": "Mount Anak Krakatau, the volcanic island that emerged from the Sunda Strait after the 1883 eruption, experienced a series of small-scale eruptions from December 16, 2023 until the end of the year. The Geology Agency head, Lana Saria, stated that these eruptions do not pose a tsunami threat, unlike the catastrophic event in 2018. The 2018 tsunami was caused by the collapse of a significant portion of the volcanic edifice and the earthquake that followed. The Geology Agency monitors the volcano through two monitoring posts in Lampung and Banten. Despite the ongoing eruptions, there have been no significant changes in the morphology of Mount Anak Krakatau, with the main crater and volcanic edifice retaining their forms. The primary risks associated with the volcano are incandescent matter, volcanic rock, volcanic ash, and gas dispersed by wind.",
  "summary": "After the 2018 eruption, Mount Anak Krakatau has a series of small-scale eruptions as the construction phase of the volcano’s regeneration until Dec. 16, 2023.",
