MANADO - Head of the Volcano Observation Post, Yudia P Tatipang, said that the fire rays appeared at the top of the crater two (north), Mount Karangetang, in Sitaro Islands Regency, North Sulawesi.
"The height of the fire at the top of the crater two is estimated to be between 10-25 meters," said Yudia in Manado, Thursday, October 9, as reported by ANTARA.
Fire rays at the top of the northern crater were recorded at 18.30 WITA.
There are occasionally incandescent lava avalanches leading to the area between the north and south craters of approximately 700 meters.
Yudia hopes that residents will continue to comply with the recommended hazard radius to avoid unwanted things.
Some of the recommendations issued by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources are that the community and visitors / tourists do not approach, do not climb and do not carry out activities within the hazard forecast zone, namely a radius of 1.5 kilometers from the crater peak of two (northern areas) and the main crater (south) and the sectoral expansion area to the south of the southwest as far as 2.5 kilometers.
The public is expected to be aware of avalanches of lava and hot clouds avalanches that can occur at any time from the previous buildup of lava material because its condition is unstable and easily collapsed, especially to the south, southeast, west and southwest sectors.
Furthermore, people living around the banks of rivers that originate from the peak of Mount Karangetang to increase preparedness from the potential threat of rain lava and flash floods that can flow to the beach.
Until 23.01 WITA, the status of Mount Karangetang is still Alert (Level II).
