Ash from Indonesia volcano seen from 90 miles away

Indonesia's Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki erupted Tuesday, launching ash columns nearly 33,000 feet high and prompting authorities to raise the alert to its highest level. The danger zone was extended to 8 kilometres (5 miles) from the crater.

The eruption produced over 50 volcanic activities in just two hours — far more than the typical 8–10 daily events — creating a vast mushroom-shaped ash plume seen up to 90 miles away.

No injuries or deaths were reported, but residents were warned of possible lava flows due to heavy rain. The volcano, which last erupted in March, is part of a twin formation with Mount Lewotobi Perempuan in Flores Timur. Indonesia, located on the Pacific "Ring of Fire," has 120 active volcanoes and frequent seismic activity.
