Anak Krakatau (Indonesia) erupted on 22 December 2018. During the eruption the collapse of the volcano summit triggered a tsunami in Sunda Strait causing a death toll of 437. The first post-event clear-sky image was finally acquired by Sentinel-2 today on 13 Jan 2019 (after 10 cloudy acquisitions). Here is an image comparison of the Krakatau Island before and after the eruption.
