A VOLATILE volcano in central Indonesia has erupted again, spewing ash almost 600m into the air.

Monitoring official Farid Ruskanda says Mount Lokon on Sulawesi island erupted twice within a half-hour this afternoon.

The 1580m Mount Lokon has been dormant for years but rumbled back to life late last week.

Yesterday, it unleashed its most powerful eruption yet, spitting hot ash as high as 3474m.

Some 5000 people near the mountain have been relocated to safer areas.

3474m of hot ash being spat out would have looked amaZing, but very scary at the same time! Is it going to get worse? And Katla's errupting at the moment as well!! Did I see someone comment on a thread over the weekend, that there was something like 64 active volcano's at this moment??

Watching, and always wondering!

stay safe.
