Massive spurts of lava threaten tourists and fishermen around Indonesia's Anak Krakatau volcano.
Anak Krakatau (Child of Krakatoa) volcano spewed incandescent rocks as high as 8,000 feet above Indonesia’s Sunda Strait, posing a threat to fishermen and tourists sailing near the volcanic island.
The Antara news agency reports that eyewitnesses said the eruption produced a deafening sound and sent large amounts of smoke billowing even higher than the red-hot stones.
Vulcanologists warned those rocks were as hot as 2,700 degrees Fahrenheit and could have killed anyone struck by them.
Anak Krakatau has produced swarms of increased activity in recent weeks.
