Mount Anak Krakatau eruptions attract foreign tourists

"Some 10 to 15 Australian and European tourists come here every day to observe the eruptions of Mount Anak Krakatau," Iman Faisal (35), a tourist guide at Carita beach resort in Pandeglang, Banten, said here Saturday.

He said many of the foreign tourists take pictures of the eruptions as the happening was something of great interest in their respective countries.

"This is because Anak Krakatau is possibly the only volcano in the world that rises from the sea," he said adding that Anak Krakatau had become a legend as its eruption in 1883 killed 36,000 people.

Mount Anak Krakatau has been erupting over the past few weeks.
