Gunung Rinjani Spews Ash 1,200 Meters
May 04, 2010
An active volcano on Indonesia’s Lombok island has spewed lava and hot ash nearly 1,200 meters into the sky but poses no immediate threat to local villagers.
Surono, director of Indonesia’s Volcanology Agency, said the Tuesday eruption followed four smaller eruptions on Friday.
He said the nearest village is several kilometers away from the 7,795-foot (2,376-meter) Mount Barujari and is not threatened.
Mount Barujari is the cone on the iconic Gunung Rinjani.
Surono said Barujari has shown mild activity for the last two years.
