Sinabung Update


Mount Sinabung continues to eruption in Indonesia. Several small to moderate pyroclastic flows have been occurring due to column collapse over the last few months. Rock avalanches have also occurred numerous times. Ash plumes have been rising to over 6 km into the atmosphere. Viscous lava flows, travelling 5-6km from the crater have also been occurred. No recent fatalities have occurred due to the exclusion zone in place. A lava dome continues to grow on the summit.

In September, around 4700 people remain in evacuation shelters.
