Mount Karangetang, one of Indonesia’s most active volcanos, has erupted just hours after a massive 8.9 magnitude earthquake hit Japan. Mount Karangetang, located on the volcanically hyperactive “Pacific Ring of Fire”, erupted this afternoon sending gas and lava down its sides and endangering nearby villages. Volcanology official Agus Budianto said that authorities were still trying to evacuate residents living along the slopes of Mount Karangetang. The 5,853-foot (1,784-meter) mountain is located on Siau, part of the Sulawesi island chain. It killed four people when it last erupted in August 2010. IWO website |
