Mount Ibu's Spectacular Eruption: Ash Clouds Blanket the Sky

Mount Ibu, located on the remote island of Halmahera in Indonesia, has erupted again, marking one of nearly 100 eruptions this year. The latest eruption occurred early Monday morning, sending a massive six-kilometer-high cloud of ash and sand into the sky. Local authorities have issued warnings to aviation agencies due to the potential hazards the ash cloud poses to flights in the region. The volcano, which has been on the highest alert level due to its frequent activity, has also caused sand to fall onto surrounding areas, highlighting the ongoing risks to local communities.
