Quote:Researchers have examined satellite images of Anak Krakatau to calculate the amount of rock and ash that sheared off into the sea.

They say the volcano has lost more than two-thirds of its height and volume during the past week.

Much of this missing mass could have slid into the sea in one movement.

The article has radar satellite before and after images. Amazing.

Comparing this event to the potential for Cumbre Vieja could give a more realistic threat assessment.
