Mount Anak Krakatau experienced four eruptions on Friday, March 25, 2022, until 11:20 WIB (Western Indonesian Time). According to Magma Indonesia, the volcano located in Lampung ejected volcanic ash up to 2,000 meters high.

The first eruption occurred at 05:25 WIB, with the ash reaching a height of 2,000 meters above the peak. Mount Anak Krakatau itself is 157 meters above sea level (masl).

Subsequent eruptions occurred at 07:47 WIB, 08:09 WIB, and 10:55 WIB. The ash column was gray to black and drifted eastward.

Magma Indonesia has designated Mount Anak Krakatau as Level 2, or Alert. Therefore, the public and tourists are prohibited from approaching the crater within a two-kilometer radius.

Besides Mount Anak Krakatau, 17 other active volcanoes are also at Level 2 (Alert), including Mount Awu in North Sulawesi, Banda Api in Maluku, and Rinjani in West Nusa Tenggara.

Magma Indonesia reports that no active volcanoes in Indonesia are currently at Level IV/Awas (Dangerously Erupting). However, four active volcanoes in Indonesia are at Level III/Siaga (Alert/Watch), meaning they could erupt: Lewotolok in East Nusa Tenggara, Merapi in Yogyakarta and Central Java, Semeru in East Java, and Sinabung in North Sumatra.

Meanwhile, 46 active volcanoes in Indonesia are at Level I (Normal), including Mount Agung in Bali, Mount Ciremai in West Java, and Mount Tambora in West Nusa Tenggara.
