Anak Krakatau observed from Palau Rakata (4.-8. June 2009)The activity of Anak Krakatau was very variable in June 2009: very low activity lasted for many hours followed by intense strombolian activity, again lasting several hours; finally periods of violent vulcanian eruptions ocurred once every ten to twenty minutes for about one hour. |
 Fishermen resting within the Krakatau caldera observe mild strombolian activity. |  Some eruptions directed towards the East cover the old crater rim with many bombs. |  Dawn in Krakatau caldera, with eruptions several hundreds meter high. |  A fisherman checks the volcano's activity and the safety during a period of rest. |
 Sequence of three photos of a big vulcanian eruption at noon of 5. June. |  Bombs 10 metres in diameter erupted from the crater on the right impact on the cone's flank. |  While some bombs are still flying, others impacts on all the flanks of the cone. |  Another vulcanian eruption at noon of 5. June, this time directed towards the west. |
 Mild strombolian activity at the cinder cone inside the new summit crater. |  Mild strombolian activity erupts bombs into the 2007 crater at lower left. |  After sunset, during dusk on 7. June, the activity constantly increases. |  In the night, vulcanian blasts throw bombs right to our observation point on Anak (lower right corner). |
