Indonesia (Sulawesi) - Soputan Volcano
Volcanic Eruption
Yesterday, Soputan volcano in the north of Sulawesi erupted. At 10 am (local time) yesterday, pyroclastic flows were recorded extending 4 km from the summit, and ash emissions reached 2 km above the volcano. During the rainy season, phreatic eruptions are possible from the hot lava dome. The closest inhabitants are 8 km from the peak. There is a camping ground 3-4 km from the summit which is in the danger zone. The alert status at Soputan volcano was increased to level 3 (out of maximum 4) on 6th June. A 6 km exclusion zone has been placed around the volcano. Climbing the volcano is not permitted, and the camping ground is closed. Residents should be alert for lahars in the rivers such as Ranowangko, Pentu, Lawian, and Popang.
Geologic Summit: The small Soputan stratovolcano on the southern rim of the Quaternary Tondano caldera on the northern arm of Sulawesi Island is one of Sulawesi's most active volcanoes. The youthful, largely unvegetated volcano rises to 1784 m and is located SW of Sempu volcano.

Indonesia - Semeru Volcano on Java
Volcanic activity
Last Wednesday (21.05.2008), Semeru Volcano on Java in Indonesia was upgraded to level 3 alert (out of a maximum 4). During the period 15-19 May there were 432 explosion earthquakes and 6 pyroclastic flows at the volcano. On 20th May there were 92 eruption earthquakes. Eruption of ash continued for periods of 20-30 minutes at a time and reached 400 m above the summit. During the night, ash emissions were accompanied by glowing lava. Some villages are under threat from eruptions, lahars and pyroclastic flows. A 4 km exclusion zone has been placed around the southeast slope of the active crater due to the risk of pyroclastic flows. Volcanic material is building around the crater, and this could mobilise after heavy rain, causing lahars. Evacuations have not been ordered at this stage.

UTC Coordinated Universal Time is the international time standard. It is the current term for what was commonly referred to as Greenwich Meridian Time (GMT). Zero (0) hours UTC is midnight in Greenwich England, which lies on the zero longitudinal meridian. Universal time is based on a 24 hour clock, therefore, afternoon hours such as 4 pm UTC are expressed as 16:00 UTC (sixteen hours, zero minutes).
