Eruption in Indonesia volcano by Olga Hromkova

Eruption in Indonesia volcano Anak Krakatau is volcano in Indonesia which is well known after his "father Krakatu" and its powerful explosion which happened in august 1883. For now there is a possibility, that this history could be repeated. This volcano is one of the 70 active volcanoes in 17 000 islands situated in Indonesia. There has been eruption, blasting smoke and red hot rocks seen at Anak Krakatou. Many people who are living in close villages especially from the slopes of Mount Kelud on Java island have been evacuated because of those activities. Anak began his activity last week and since that time, the level of danger dropped, which means that the residents can return to their homes. Associated Press have interviewed one of the Indonesian inhabitants: "We have lived here for generations. The land is my life," said Meseman, a 74-year-old papaya farmer on the slopes of Mount Kelud, who like many Indonesians uses only a single name and declined to heed the warnings to leave the area. "It is impossible for me leave. If anything, the volcanic ash will make my fields more fertile." The father of Anak Krakatu was very dangerous and killed around 36 000 people, but Anak for now have been consider not especially dangerous, but of course & for now. Bagong Suvanto, a professor of rural sociology at the University of Surabaya said for Associated Press "The Javanese see nature as a friend because it gives then food and life," "They trust it, they do not see it as a threat like volcanologists do."
