Terrifying Eruption of Volcano Merapi: Lava and Gas Engulfs Villages in Indonesia

Описание: #merapi #volcano #indonesia

Indonesia's Mount Merapi, a renowned active volcano, experienced a significant eruption on a recent day. The explosion caused an influx of lava and scorching gas clouds that flooded the villages in the region of the crater. Reports indicate that the incident occurred at noon local time, with authorities immediately enforcing restrictions on mining and tourism in the mountain's vicinity.

Volcano Merapi, situated on the densely inhabited Java island, emitted scorching ash clouds, a blend of rocks, lava, and gas that moved up to seven kilometers down its slopes. The local agency confirmed that the explosion created a column of hot clouds that rose 100 meters into the air, darkening the sky for the remainder of the day and blanketing several towns with ash.

Volcanic ash has affected a minimum of eight communities near the volcano, as seen in social media videos showing ash-covered homes and streets. Thankfully, no fatalities were reported. Residents in the area have been warned to avoid any activities within three to seven kilometers of the crater's danger zone.

Volcano Merapi is among Indonesia's 120 active volcanoes, and it has been under the second-highest alert level since 2020 following a resurgence in activity.
