Krakatoa back from the dead

The news that Vesuvius has made it to the final of the New7Wonders competition seems to have provoked reaction or rival bid from Krakatoa.

The news story at http://news.ninemsn.com.au/glance/843652/killer-krakatoas-revenge says that Anak Krakatoa — the "child" of the infamous killer volcano which killed 36,000 people — is exploding off Indonesia. There are some spectacular pictures in the story also.

Although this is not directly Pompeii, we thought it may be of interest to some of you.
