Indonesian Volcano Erupts Dramatically, Shoots Ash 11 Miles Into the Sky
An Indonesian volcano has erupted once again, sending a towering plume of ash soaring approximately 11 miles (17 kilometers) into the atmosphere, in one of the most powerful volcanic events witnessed in the region this year. The eruption has triggered emergency responses and raised concerns about air travel disruptions and public safety. The volcano, situated on Indonesia’s geologically active archipelago, began a series of explosive eruptions early in 2024. The most recent blast, which occurred in the past 24 hours, produced an immense ash column reaching the upper stratosphere — a height rarely observed outside of major volcanic events. Witnesses
