Major Volcano Erupts In Indonesia

Quote

I saw a ticker on CNN on this volcano, but this is all the info I can find. Anyone else here of this?

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) _ A volcano in central Indonesia erupted Monday, shooting clouds of smoke and flames into the night sky.

Indonesia's volcanology center said Mount Soputan, roughly 1,350 miles (2,160 kilometers) northeast of capital Jakarta on Sulawesi island, billowed smoke plumes as high as 3,200 feet (one kilometer).

The nearest villages are five miles (eight kilometers) from the crater's mouth, well out of the danger zone, the agency said on its Web site. Although no evacuations were ordered, people were warned to stay at a safe distance because it might spew lava.

Indonesia, a tropical archipelago straddling a major fault line known as the "Pacific Ring of Fire," has more active volcanoes than any other nation. The 3,280-foot (1,780-meter) Mount Soputan has been one of the most active.

Indonesia's Mount Soputan volcano spews smoke 1,000 metres into the air

JAKARTA, Indonesia — A volcano has erupted in central Indonesia, shooting clouds of smoke and flames into the night sky.

Indonesia's volcanology centre says smoke plumes up to a kilometre high are billowing from Mount Soputan on Sulawesi Island, about 2,160 kilometres northeast of Jakarta, the capital.

The centre's website says the nearest villages are about eight kilometres from the crater's mouth, well out of the danger zone.

No evacuations have been ordered, but people are being advised to stay well clear because the volcano may begin the spew lava.

Indonesia, a tropical archipelago straddling a major fault line known as the "Pacific Ring of Fire," has more active volcanoes than any other country.

Mount Soputan, at 1,780-metres, has been one of the most active.
