Four Indonesian volcanoes erupt 13 times as ash disrupts airport operations

On Thursday, Indonesia recorded 13 volcanic eruptions, including Anak Krakatau, causing airport closures due to ash from one volcano.

Mount Ibu, Ili Lewotolok, Semeru, and Anak Krakatau experienced significant activity, with Anak Krakatau remaining on a high alert level.

Volcanic ash earlier disrupted several airports, and Wunopito Airport in East Nusa Tenggara remains closed pending further updates.

JAKARTA, Sept 10 — Four Indonesian volcanoes, including Anak Krakatau, recorded at least 13 eruptions on Thursday as volcanic activity continued across the archipelago, with ash from one volcano keeping an airport in East Nusa Tenggara closed.

The Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation Centre (PVMBG) said as of midday, six eruptions were recorded at Mount Ibu in North Maluku, four at Ili Lewotolok in East Nusa Tenggara, two at Semeru in East Java and one at Anak Krakatau, which erupted at 9.10am Western Indonesian Time.

However, the eruption column at Anak Krakatau was not observed. Earlier monitoring between midnight and 6am showed the volcano was covered by fog, with three hybrid or multiphase earthquakes and continuous tremor recorded during the period.

The volcano remained on Level III, the second-highest level in Indonesia’s four-tier volcanic alert system.

Separately, the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) said in an update on Instagram that volcanic ash from Anak Krakatau and Ili Lewotolok was no longer detected.

Ash from Mount Ibu was detected at up to 7,000 feet, while Semeru could not be observed due to cloud cover.

The latest volcanic activity comes after volcanic ash from Anak Krakatau forced the temporary closure of Soekarno-Hatta International Airport and seven other airports earlier this week.

Meanwhile, AirNav Indonesia in a statement said Wunopito Airport in Lewoleba, East Nusa Tenggara, remained closed due to volcanic ash from Ili Lewotolok, with the closure extended until an estimated 7am local time on Friday. — Bernama

周四，印度尼西亚记录到 13 次火山喷发，其中包括喀拉喀托之子火山，其中一座火山喷发的火山灰导致机场关闭。

伊布山、伊犁勒沃托洛克山、塞梅鲁山和喀拉喀托火山都经历了严重的活动，喀拉喀托火山仍处于高度戒备状态。

火山灰此前已导致多个机场中断，东努沙登加拉省的乌诺皮托机场目前仍处于关闭状态，等待进一步通知。

雅加达，9 月 10 日——周四，包括喀拉喀托之子火山在内的四座印度尼西亚火山至少发生了 13 次喷发，火山活动在整个群岛持续进行，其中一座火山喷出的火山灰导致东努沙登加拉省的一个机场关闭。

火山地质灾害减灾中心（PVMBG）表示，截至中午，北马鲁古省伊布火山记录到6次喷发，东努沙登加拉省伊利莱沃托洛克火山记录到4次喷发，东爪哇省塞梅鲁火山记录到2次喷发，喀拉喀托之子火山记录到1次喷发，该火山于印尼西部时间上午9点10分喷发。

然而，并未观测到喀拉喀托之子火山的喷发柱。此前午夜至凌晨6点的监测显示，该火山被雾气笼罩，期间记录到三次混合或多相地震以及持续的震颤。

该火山仍处于 III 级警戒状态，这是印度尼西亚四级火山警戒系统中的第二高级别。

另外，气象、气候和地球物理局 (BMKG) 在 Instagram 上发布最新消息称，已不再检测到喀拉喀托之子火山和伊利莱沃托洛克火山的火山灰。

伊布火山的火山灰在高达 7000 英尺的高度被探测到，而塞梅鲁火山由于云层覆盖而无法观测到。

最新火山活动发生在喀拉喀托之子火山喷发的火山灰迫使苏加诺-哈达国际机场和其他七个机场于本周早些时候暂时关闭之后。

与此同时，印尼航空导航公司（AirNav Indonesia）在一份声明中表示，由于伊利莱沃托洛克火山喷发的火山灰，位于东努沙登加拉省莱沃莱巴的乌诺皮托机场仍然关闭，预计关闭时间将延长至当地时间周五早上7点左右。——马新社
