Indonesia's Ibu volcano erupts multiple times, with the volcanic ash column reaching up to 1,500 meters

On August 31 local time, the multiple eruptions of Indonesia's Ibu volcano have attracted widespread attention.

According to the Indonesian Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation Center (pvmbg), at 14:45 on that day, the Ibu volcano had its highest eruption. The volcanic ash column reached 1,500 meters, and the eruption lasted for about 115 seconds.

The Ibu volcano is one of the more active volcanoes in Indonesia. Since this year, the volcano has erupted many times. For example, on June 15, the Ibu volcano erupted multiple times in one day. In the eruption at 7:26, the volcanic ash column was about 1,500 meters high, and the eruption lasted for about 74 seconds. In the two eruptions at 20:12 and 21:22 on the same day, the volcanic ash columns were as high as 2,000 meters and 1,500 meters respectively, and the eruption durations were 87 seconds and 91 seconds respectively.

Frequent volcanic eruptions have brought many impacts to the local area. A large amount of volcanic ash is diffused in the air, which not only has a serious impact on the air quality of surrounding areas and poses a potential threat to the daily lives and health of residents, but may also cause interference to air transportation, leading to flight delays or cancellations. In addition, volcanic eruptions may also trigger secondary disasters such as earthquakes, posing a threat to the surrounding infrastructure and the safety of people's lives and property.

The Indonesian government and relevant departments remain highly vigilant about the activities of the Ibu volcano, closely monitor the dynamics of the volcano, and timely issue early warning information to surrounding residents, and organize the evacuation and relocation of residents who may be affected to ensure people's lives and safety. At the same time, the international community is also paying attention to the eruptions of Indonesia's Ibu volcano. Some geological experts and scientific research institutions are also conducting in-depth research and ***ysis on volcanic activities in order to better understand the activity patterns and potential risks of volcanoes and provide scientific basis and technical support for dealing with similar disasters. In the future, the Indonesian government and relevant departments will continue to strengthen the monitoring and prevention of the Ibu volcano and strive to reduce the adverse impacts of volcanic eruptions.
