Closed-circuit camera footage showed lava flares from the volcano.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No casualties were reported and no evacuation order was issued. The nearest settlement is more than 16 kilometers (10 miles) away, but authorities warned residents and visitors to stay at least 3 kilometers (2 miles) from the active crater.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Volcanic ash spread across parts of Jakarta and Lampung province on Sumatra\u2019s southern tip, Indonesia\u2019s Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AirNav Indonesia closed airspace around Soekarno-Hatta and Halim Perdanakusuma airports in Jakarta, as well as six other airports, including Radin Inten II Airport in Lampung, because of volcanic ash.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flights canceled as 170,000 passengers affected<\/h4>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By Sunday evening, the closure of eight airports had affected 170,000 passengers from 1,558 canceled flights, including 963 flights in Jakarta\u2019s Soekarno-Hatta airport alone. All eight airports were ordered closed until 8:59 a.m. Monday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s of course an inconvenience,\u201d said Diego Urdiales, a Spanish tourist who was supposed to fly home to Madrid. \u201cI was supposed to get input from the airline \u2026 but so far no news.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s a natural disaster, it\u2019s a force majeure, so, what can we do?\u201d said Michele Gouw, an Indonesian passenger. \u201cWe just have to accept it and wait for the airline and airport directions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indonesia\u2019s Directorate General of Civil Aviation said that it was closely monitoring the eruption\u2019s impact on air travel and coordinating with airlines, airport operators, air navigation services and the meteorology agency.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSafety remains our top priority in every operational decision,\u201d Lukman F. Laisa, Ministry of Transportation director general of civil aviation, said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He warned flight schedules could face cascading disruptions affecting aircraft rotations, fleet availability and terminal capacity as airlines work to restore operations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The eruption also disrupted services at Bali\u2019s I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport and at Medan.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Volcano remains active<\/h4>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indonesia\u2019s volcanology agency and the Darwin Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre identified two ash clouds using satellite imagery. One plume rose to 20,000 feet (6,100 meters) and drifted northeast over Jakarta, Banten, West Java and nearby waters. A second cloud reached 50,000 feet (15,200 meters) and spread over parts of Banten, Lampung and Bengkulu provinces, the southern Sunda Strait and sections of the Indian Ocean west of Sumatra.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lana Saria, head of Indonesia\u2019s Geological Agency, said activity at Anak Krakatau has intensified since July, with Sunday\u2019s eruption the strongest during that period.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The repeated eruptions indicate a continued supply of magma and volcanic gases beneath the volcano, she said, though officials can\u2019t predict whether a larger eruption will occur.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe continue to evaluate the volcano\u2019s development based on all monitoring data, not solely on the number of eruptions or the height of the ash column,\u201d Saria said in a video briefing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She said the main hazards include volcanic ash, high concentrations of gas and the ejection of hot rocks and other material around the crater area.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Schools move to online learning<\/h4>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The eruption\u2019s impact extended beyond air travel. The government on Sunday authorized schools in areas affected by volcanic ash could temporarily move to online learning at home. The measure is intended to reduce students\u2019 exposure to ashfall and allow local authorities to adjust classroom activities based on conditions on the ground.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anak Krakatau, which means \u201cchild of Krakatau,\u201d is the offspring of the famous Krakatau, whose monumental 1883 eruption triggered a period of global cooling.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An eruption of Anak Krakatau in 2018 caused\u00a0a tsunami\u00a0that killed at least 430 people in Sumatra and Java. Researchers believe volcanic activity triggered an underwater landslide and caused a large chunk of Anak Krakatau\u2019s southwest slope to collapse and displace a large volume of water. Scientists said that Anak Krakatau island was only\u00a0about a quarter of its original size\u00a0after that eruption.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>#Volcanic #island #Indonesia #erupts #canceling #flights #affecting #passengers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A volcano erupted in Indonesia&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3992,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[6876,3035,6875,6874,258,4400,2272,2569,6873],"class_list":["post-3991","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-finance-news","tag-affecting","tag-air-travel","tag-canceling","tag-erupts","tag-flights","tag-indonesia","tag-island","tag-passengers","tag-volcanic"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
