00:00Two new island-like formations have appeared near Indonesia's Anak Krakato volcano.
00:05The discoveries follow a major volcanic eruption in September.
00:09Satellite images revealed the formations in the Sunda Strait, between Java and Sumatra.
00:14One formation lies about 760 meters northwest of the volcano.
00:18The second is located approximately 495 meters to the southwest.
00:23Indonesia's Volcano Monitoring Agency says further research is needed to confirm how they formed.
00:29Scientists are investigating whether the land emerged from the volcanic caldera or accumulated from volcanic deposits.
00:36Anak Krakato erupted continuously for 25 hours in September.
00:40Volcanic ash blanketed nearby cities and forced multiple airports to close.
00:45More than 300,000 passengers were left stranded by the disruption.
00:49The volcano remains at alert level 2, the second lowest of Indonesia's four danger categories.
00:55Authorities advise people to stay at least 3 kilometers from the eruption center.
01:00Researchers will now monitor whether the new formations survive or gradually disappear through erosion.
