Indonesia's Anak
Krakatau volcano lets out a massive roar as it blasts a
gigantic cloud of smoke and flaming red rocks hundreds of
meters into the night sky.
Indonesia's Anak Krakatau -- or "Child of Krakatau," volcano is shown erupting Thursday, sending up clouds of hot gasses, rocks and lava.
The volcano, whose name means "Child of Krakatau," formed
in the Sunda Strait close to Java island after Mount Krakatau's
legendary eruption in 1883. It rumbled to life about two weeks
ago and since then has been dazzling scientists and visitors
with its amazing pyrotechnics.

Child of Krakatau is one of the most dangerous volcanoes in
the Pacific "Ring of Fire," but authorities have not yet raised
the alert level to the highest which would require the
evacuation of people around the volcano.
"It's spectacular, it's just amazing to be here," said
Patricia Anderton, a tourist from New Haven in the United
states.
