Krakatau is at it again. Now known as Anak Krakatau or "child of Krakatau" the volcano in the place of the giant Krakatau that erupted in 1883 and was the largest explosion ever recorded.
Sending a boom across the bay, the offspring of Indonesia's fabled Krakatau volcano is unleashing another mighty eruption, blasting smoke and red-hot rocks hundreds of feet into the sky.
Even on its quiet side, the black sand on the now forbidden island is so hot that a visitor can only briefly set foot on it.
