Serang (ANTARA News) - A total of 89 volcanic tremors from Anak Krakatau volcano were recorded in the Sunda Strait on Monday, raising the mountain`s danger status.
"Until now the volcanic activity of the mountain is still continuing," Jumono, in charge of monitoring the mountain`s activities at the monitoring post in Pasauran, Cinangka, Serang, West Java, said here on Tuesday.
He said until now visitors and fishermen were not yet allowed to get near the volcano. He said the danger status was set at level II and it had not been lifted by the Volcanology Center of the Geological Disaster Mitigation Agency in Bandung.
Because of that visitors as well as fishermen were only allowed to be in a radius of two kilometers from the peak of the volcano.
He said the mountain`s deep and shallow volcanic tremors and gust still continued. "It is very dangerous to climb the mountain at this time," he said.
Fishermen had followed the call. "I do not dare to get close to the volcano because it is dangerous," Nurdin, a fisherman from Pasauran said.
