Volcano spews hot ash in central Indonesia

12/04/2008 |

JAKARTA, Indonesia ? Residents in central Indonesia have been told to stay away from the crater of a volcano that has been spewing hot lava and clouds of ash high into the air for days.

State vulcanologist Saut Simatupang said Thursday that no evacuations have been ordered even though many people live along Mount Karangetang's volatile slopes.

He says the volcano has been spilling lava and shooting ash as high as 1,300 feet (400 meters), prompting authorities to raise its alert to the second-highest level.

The volcano is located 1,400 miles (2,300 kilometers) northeast of Jakarta on Siau island.

Indonesia is prone to seismic upheaval due to its location on the so-called Pacific "Ring of Fire," an arc of volcanoes and fault lines encircling the Pacific Basin.
