Mount Sinabung erupted after 400 years of dormancy on Sunday and Monday, spewing hot ash thousands of metres into the air and forcing nearly 29,000 villagers living on its slopes to seek refuge in temporary shelters. Thousands of residents who fled to safety after a volcano on Indonesia’s Sumatra island erupted began returning to their homes on Wednesday, officials said.
A thick smoke spews from the summit of Mount Sinabung as it erupts seen from Tanah Karo in North Sumatra. Airlines were warned to avoid the remote Mount Sinabung in northern Sumatra as the volcano spewed a vast cloud of smoke and ash high into the air for a second day after springing to life for the first time in four centuries on August 29.
