Merapi’s alert status has been at the second highest of four levels since it began erupting last November, and Indonesia’s Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation Centre has not raised it despite the past week’s increased volcanic activity. The city is a centre of Javanese culture and a seat of royal dynasties going back centuries. The 2,968-metre (9,737ft) peak is near Yogyakarta, an ancient city of several hundred thousand people embedded in a large metro area on the island of Java. Smaller pyroclastic flows of searing gas and lava travelled up to 1.5 kilometres (a mile) southwest at least twice more during the day. The southwest rim dome volume was estimated at 1.8 million cubic metres (66.9 million cubic feet) and about three metres (9.8ft) tall before partially collapsing on Monday morning, sending pyroclastic flows travelling fast down the southwest flank at least twice. She said the lava dome just below Merapi’s southwest rim and the lava dome in the crater have both been active since the end of July. It was Merapi’s biggest lava flow since authorities raised its danger level last November, said Hanik Humaida, the head of Yogyakarta’s Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation Centre. The rumbling sound could be heard several kilometres away as Mount Merapi erupted, sending hot ash 600 metres (nearly 2,000ft) into the sky.Īsh blanketed nearby towns, but long-established evacuation orders are in place near the volcano, and no casualties were reported. INDONESIA´S most active volcano has erupted with its biggest lava flow in months, sending a river of lava and searing gas clouds flowing 3.5 kilometres (more than two miles) down its slopes on the densely populated island of Java. Gunung Merapi adalah yang paling aktif dari lebih dari 120 gunung berapi aktif di Indonesia dan telah berulang kali meletus dengan awan lava dan gas baru-baru ini, seperti dikutip PA Media yang dilansir MailOnline. Masyarakat dihimbau untuk tetap waspada terhadap bahaya lava dan tinggal lima kilometer jauhnya dari mulut kawah. Volume kubah tepi barat daya diperkirakan mencapai 1,8 juta meter kubik dan tinggi sekitar tiga meter sebelum sebagian runtuh pada Senin pagi.ĭengan demikian, BPPTKG masih menetapkan status Gunung Merapi pada level III atau Siaga sejak November lalu. Ia mengatakan kubah lava tepat di bawah tepi barat daya Gunung Merapi dan kubah lava di kawah telah aktif sejak akhir Juli. "Itu adalah aliran lahar terbesar Gunung Merapi sejak pihak berwenang menaikkan tingkat bahayanya November lalu," kata Kepala Balai Penyelidikan dan Pengembangan Teknologi Kebencanaan Geologi, Hanik Humaida, pada Senin. Tidak ada korban jiwa dilaporkan atas kejadian ini. Suara gemuruhnya dapat terdengar beberapa kilometer jauhnya, mengirimkan abu panas 600 meter ke udara.Ību menyelimuti kota-kota terdekat, tetapi perintah evakuasi sudah lama diberlakukan di dekat Gunung Merapi. GUNUNG MERAPI di Yogyakarta kembali mengalami erupsi sebanyak dua kali dengan mengeluarkan awan panas yang mengalir sampai 3,5 kilometer.
