The agency said the eruption and ash emission was “still ongoing” on Sunday afternoon, with the ash cloud moving in two directions: the lower level plume is moving towards the west and the upper level plume is moving east in the direction of the north coast of Australia. Information provided to aircrews said volcanic ash was discernible on satellite images of the area as high as 50,000 feet in the higher plume and 18,000 feet in the lower level plume. In August, Mount Sinabung volcano in Indonesia’s North Sumatra province shot a vast plume of ash and dust over 3 miles into the sky and plunged local villages into darkness.
