Krakatau Volcano Grounds Flights | Perth News
Description
Mount Anak Krakatau is erupting again, blanketing skies with ash so thick it’s grounded hundreds of flights and stranded 170,000 travelers across eight Indonesian airports. The ash plume soared up to 15,000 meters, forcing airlines to cancel entire days’ worth of flights with no warning. Schools shut down, fishermen halted operations, and locals battled eye irritation — while authorities scramble to deploy cloud-seeding for rain to wash the ash away. Officials urge residents to wear masks, avoid outdoor exposure, and stay at least five kilometers from the crater as this “child of Krakatau” continues its volatile wake-up call — echoing the devastation of its parent volcano’s 1883 eruption.
