Eruptions intensify, off scale seismicity at Anak Krakatau, Indonesia
Explosive activity at Anak Krakatau in Indonesia continues and its seismicity is reportedly going off the scale today, July 12, 2018.
"Krakatau is going crazy … 100 times explosion a day. Very loud and could be heard until Carita, 42 km (26 miles) away," Volcano Discovery's Indonesian volcano expedition leader said July 12.

Just a few hours ago, photographer and volcano-enthusiast Øystein L. Andersen, said activity at the volcano is quite unique now. "It seems like you can now see a bright glow from the eruption from the coast of Java, 50 km (31 miles) away."
This is how #Krakatau is seen trough my camera lens at present. Out there 50km on the Sunda Strait. Continious eruption ongoing, and booming sounds can be heard. According to the volcano observatory, the current activity started 2 days ago. @id_magma pic.twitter.com/wpsY9IS0IL

Wow is that #Krakatau lightening up in the Sunda strait or am I seeing wrong? Damn, should I just drive down to the coast of Java to check it out tonight? #volcano pic.twitter.com/A2jETWJiNo

This is how #Krakatau volcano sounded like last night, timelapse included. It was a very special experience.Being able to listen to the eruption 50km away from one of the most well known #volcanoes of the world. It sounded like distant canonfire and vibrations shook windows. pic.twitter.com/6tNmhRfpnr

#Krakatau – the story so far. @planetlabs imagery shows that the current eruptive episode has created a new vent (or enlarged an existing one), which emitted a lava flow to the S on July 11-12. @id_magma @vulkanologi_mbg @Sutopo_PN

PVMBG reported there were four ash-producing events at Anak Krakatau on July 4 and 5, each lasting between 30 and 41 seconds. While inclement weather conditions prevented an estimation of the ash-plume height from the event at 05:22 local time on July 4, ash plumes from events at 14:09, 14:25, and 16:51 on July 5 rose 300 – 500 m above the crater rim and drifted N and NW.
At this time, the Alert Level remains at 2 (on a scale of 1-4). Residents and visitors were warned not to approach the volcano within 1 km (0.62 miles) of the crater.
Geological summary
The renowned volcano Krakatau (frequently misstated as Krakatoa) lies in the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra. The collapse of the ancestral Krakatau edifice, perhaps in 416 CE, formed a 7-km-wide (4.3 miles) caldera.
Remnants of this ancestral volcano are preserved in Verlaten and Lang Islands; subsequently Rakata, Danan and Perbuwatan volcanoes were formed, coalescing to create the pre-1883 Krakatau Island. Caldera collapse during the catastrophic 1883 eruption destroyed Danan and Perbuwatan volcanoes, and left only a remnant of Rakata volcano.
This eruption, the 2nd largest in Indonesia during historical time, caused more than 36 000 fatalities, most as a result of devastating tsunamis that swept the adjacent coastlines of Sumatra and Java. Pyroclastic surges traveled 40 km (25 miles) across the Sunda Strait and reached the Sumatra coast.
After a quiescence of less than a half century, the post-collapse cone of Anak Krakatau (Child of Krakatau) was constructed within the 1883 caldera at a point between the former cones of Danan and Perbuwatan. Anak Krakatau has been the site of frequent eruptions since 1927. (GVP)

The stars are called in the bible the host of heaven, they will be the ones who are truly aligning to one part of the sun in July. They are the ones that dined God because they envied Adam and his children who on their behalf God is now showing his great power to the kingdom of all the earth for the cause of Zion. Isaiah 24:18-23 Isaiah 34:1-9-10. Soon the true Isreal of God will start to show in the month of August and be borne soon! As the king of them said that those days will be just like the birth pains of a woman.
SOONER OR LATER THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD WILL KNOW THAT I WAS FIGHTING FOR THE PHYSICAL REALITY OF OUR STAR AND PLANET
From the last ten days of this month and also in the months of August and September watch for huge increase in large magnitude earthquakes and explosive volcanic eruption. The earth’s magnetic field is already under enormous stress as a result of huge bombardment by the massive increase of cosmic rays. However, from the last ten days of this month, all the planets will be on one side of the sun and that will induce further stress on earth’s magnetic field which will result in explosive volcanic eruption and large earthquakes.
UNDERSTANDING THE ABSOLUTE PHYSICAL REALITY OF OUR STAR AND PLANET IS THE CORNORSTONE FOR THE TRUE UNDERSTANDING OF THE UNIVERSE.
