Mount Ibu in North Maluku province has erupted 1,930 times, Mount Semeru in East Java province 1,634 times and Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki 872 times. About 6,500 people were evacuated in January after Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki began erupting, spewing thick clouds and forcing the government to close the island’s Frans Seda Airport. Since January, Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki had erupted up to six times almost every day, but its activity drastically fell in early November, said Muhammad Wafid, who heads the geology agency at the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry.
