While activity continues at Anak Krakatau island with little changes over the past day, Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) published a worrying observation: new cracks were discovered that run through the remaining island. It is feared that these could be precursory signs of new, potentially large-scale landslide events that could in turn trigger another tsunami.
According to the Head of BMKG, Dwikorita Karnawati, there are two new cracks in a straight line on one side of the Anak Krakatau island, possibly caused by the continuous shaking of the island due to the violent explosions occurring during the past 2 weeks since the catastrophic landslide on 22 Dec.
