Lava flows as Indonesia's Mount Merapi continues to erupt

The Hindu  

Indonesia’s Mount Merapi continued to erupt Friday, forcing authorities to halt tourism and mining activities on the slopes of the country’s most active volcano. It was Mount Merapi’s biggest lava flow since authorities raised its danger level in November 2020, said Hanik Humaida, the head of Yogyakarta’s Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation Center. Eko Budi Lelono, who heads Indonesia’s Geology and Volcanology Research Agency, said residents living on Merapi’s slopes were advised to stay 7 kilometers away from the crater’s mouth and should be aware of the danger posed by lava. Authorities have closed at least five tourism attractions located within the danger zone of 5 kilometers from the crater and halted mining activities along the volcano’s rivers, Humaida said.
