Indonesia volcano eruption creates huge column of ash

Published

Indonesia’s Mount Marapi erupted on Thursday, sending a column of ash 1.5km (4,900ft) above its peak.

Timelapse CCTV footage captured the ash rising into the sky.

The eruption has been rated at level two – the third-highest severity level – requiring a 3km (9,800ft) exclusion zone.

Marapi is one of the most active volcanoes in Indonesia – a vast archipelago nation. A previous eruption killed at least 24 climbers in 2023.
