Indonesia's Ibu Volcano erupted multiple times with an ash column reaching 1200 meters

In the early morning of August 26 local time, Indonesia's Ibu Volcano erupted multiple times, attracting widespread attention.

According to the Indonesian Volcanological Research Institute, the highest eruption occurred at 5:13. The ash column reached 1200 meters and the eruption lasted for about 89 seconds.

Ibu Volcano is an active volcano in Indonesia. It is 1325 meters above sea level and is located in the northwest of Halmahera Island, North Maluku. There is a large crater at the top of the volcano. The center of the crater is 1000 meters wide and 400 meters deep, while the outer part is 1200 meters wide.

Indonesia is located in the circum-Pacific volcanic belt. Volcanic and seismic activities are frequent. There are more than 120 active volcanoes in the country. Ibu Volcano has also erupted many times in recent years. After this eruption, relevant departments will closely monitor the dynamics of volcanic activities and take corresponding measures to ensure the safety of lives and property of residents in surrounding areas.

The local government has also reminded nearby residents to be vigilant and follow relevant safety instructions. At the same time, volcanic eruptions may have a certain impact on local air transportation, climate and other aspects. Relevant departments are also actively responding to and evaluating these impacts. Scientific researchers will continue to monitor and study the activities of Ibu Volcano in order to better understand its activity patterns and potential risks.

At present, the follow-up impacts and response work regarding this eruption of Ibu Volcano are still ongoing. We will continue to pay attention to the latest developments.
