JAKARTA (Reuters) - Indonesia’s top volcano watcher, Surono, has had a frantic time in the past month. No fewer than four volcanoes on his watch have suddenly rumbled to life, giving the 52-year-old geophysicist and his staff many sleepless nights.
The head of Indonesia’s Centre for Vulcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation and his colleagues are keeping a close eye on the famous Anak Krakatau, or “Child of Krakatau,” and on Java’s Mount Kelud, which is particularly hard to monitor because of its crater lake.
