Indonesian authorities on Thursday raised the alert level for Mount Ibu, a volcano in North Maluku province, to the highest level following a series of eruptions since last week. The 1,325-meter volcano on the northwest coast of the remote island of Halmahera has been spewing thick grey ash and dark clouds up to 5,000 meters into the air every day since last Friday.
Officials advised residents and tourists to not conduct any activities within 7 kilometers of the crater and to be aware of the potential for an eruption involving the release of lava from its summit. Thousands of people live within that radius. Local authorities have prepared evacuation tents, but no formal evacuation order has been reported yet. Deep volcanic earthquakes and visual activities from Mount Ibu have significantly increased.
