Mount Sinabung Volcano Erupts

An image available on June 8, 2015 with a long exposure, which shows the Sinabung volcano constantly launching and lava spews volcanic smoke after the warning rose to the highest level, as seen from Karo, North Sumatra, Indonesia. More than 2,700 people have been evacuated from their homes are living in a radius of 7 kilometers (4 miles) south and southeast of the crater of the volcano after Indonesia threatens to increase in Sumatra, Indonesia on June 4 following a sharp rise in volcanic activity, an official said. Sinabung alert was raised to the highest levels of government fear that the growing lava dome could collapse at any moment. Mount Sinabung has erupted intermittently since late 2013. Sixteen people were killed and tens of thousands of people displaced during the early period of intense eruptions last year. Nearly 2,000 people are still living in temporary shelters as a result of the eruption last year. (Photo by Ivan Damanik/NurPhoto)
