Fiery images as killer volcano that claimed 36,000 lives stirs once more

An amateur photographer has captured new images of the re-awakening of the world's most famous volcano.

In a breathtaking series Marco Fulle, who specialises in shots of comets, has photographed the Anak Krakatoa against a backdrop of constellations such as the Big Dipper.

These stunning pictures show the latest activity during the rebirth of the infamous volcano which holds a long-standing record for causing the highest number of human deaths ever - a staggering 36,000 in 1883.

The pictures are amazing, and this shows what has been happening with most volcanoes around the world which for some rason or another have become very active starting a couple years ago or so.

Great pics! I have been wondering when this BIG BEAST would rear it's ugly head again. Hope it doesn't blow itself to pieces with the devastating force it did in 1883.

THANK YOU for this topic. I had posted in the psychology and metaphysics forum under 'empaths', a detailed description of a dream I had about a couple or more weeks ago, of a volcano activating and then blowing. I HAD NO IDEA that volcanos were activating recently. I am not 'into' following volcanology.

amazing pictures

s&f

Krakatau has been "stirring" on a rather steady basis for a long time. In fact, it's never really stopped for very long. It was recently very active from October of 2007 to August of 2008

This year has shown quite a bit of activity since March.

Not a nice neighborhood to live in but what a view!

Those photos are absolutely beautiful. I'm always intrigued by volcano eruptions.

S&F!!!

Fantastic photos, thanks for posting.

A couple people have mentioned the increase in activity over the last couple of years...the Indonesian quake/tsunami was on the techtonic plate boundry refered to as the 'Ring of Fire'. It's interesting to see that volcanic activity has jumped all along this area since that quake.

There isn't much being said to connect the dots in the MSM, but the evidence seems to be mounting regardless that the quake has indeed kicked the related volcanos back into life.

Also, check out Yellowstone National Park, there are some wierd happenings there too on what can only be referred to as a mega-volcano. Last I had heard there were ground deformations/swellings across the entire park and the timing of Old Faithfull had changed slightly.

I have always wondered about the term 'amateur photographer'. It is clear, from these photos, that it has nothing to do with skill, and everything to do with being paid to be there.

Beautiful images, nothing like a 'rock-solid' piece of matter becoming liquid to inspire the ol' awe.

I wonder how some people get stars in there photos when NASA can't seem to do it? Beautiful photo set though!

It's a long exposure. As can be seen by the tracks left by the projectiles from the eruption.

It wont collapse on itself in our lifetimes. But its made an impressive comeback

I am very proud to say they are the best pictures of a volcano i have ever seen.What fantastic photography.

As far as volcanos., it is no coincidence that they are all getting more active in the past months. They are all part of the sign of the times, for people that want to go that route. I look to see more activity as the year passes. I also look for more strange happenings in nature. Again, they are part of the warning, for those that follow that belief. Many more rumblings to come I think.

Soooooooooooooooooo Beautiful!!!! This guy was sooooooo lucky to get those pics!!! S + F !!!

hey als ummm are Mt St Helens or Mt Hood be anything to worry about? which one would be more likely to erupt???
