Indonesia - Sulawesi Volcanic Eruption at Soputal Volcano An eruption occurred at Soputan Volcano in Indonesia yesterday. Ash was emitted to a height of 1000 m. The nearest villages are 8 km from the crater, and no evacuations were necessary. A lava dome has continued to grow in the crater since 1991. Eruptions are usually occurring from the lava dome. The volcano has been increased to level 3 alert, out of a maximum 4. 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.
