It looks like the water of Kelud`s crater lake have changed color from green to a more turquoise color. Current potential hazards are the release of toxic gases and phreatic eruptions around the crater lake. The PVMBG is observing and did not change the level of activity which remains at 1 / normal… The Kelud (or Kelut) is a relatively small stratovolcano with a summit elevation at 1731m above sea level or 1650m above the densely populated and fertile plains of Kediri and Blitar that surround the volcano.
