Volcano eruption leaves 170,000 passengers stranded in Indonesia

A volcanic eruption in Indonesia's Sunda Strait has caused significant disruption, leaving 170,000 passengers stranded. Authorities have confirmed there is no tsunami warning linked to the event. The health minister has advised residents to stay indoors and wear face masks due to health risks from volcanic ash. Local reports indicate that students and residents experienced eye irritations, leading to school closures and canceled fishing trips. One resident described the effects of the ash, noting the need for frequent cleaning and eye drops. The volcano, Anak Krakatoa, has been active since emerging from the sea in the early 20th century and previously triggered a deadly tsunami in 2018. Scientists note the scale of past eruptions and the broader context of the Pacific Ring of Fire.
