The volcano is already larger than it was before the collapse that triggered the 2018 tsunami.
And what's most unsettling is that it continues to grow.
In September 2026, the volcano again showed intense activity, with ash plumes reaching up to 15 kilometers high. But the eruption isn't necessarily the biggest concern.
Scientists have observed that new land is growing in the same area where the massive 2018 collapse occurred.
A study has reconstructed Anak Krakatau's growth over more than a century and proposes a mathematical scenario in which it could regain a shape similar to its pre-disaster form around 2036.
The question is: what does it mean that the volcano is rebuilding itself on top of its own scar?
