JAKARTA - Mount Dukono in North Halmahera, North Maluku (Malut) has erupted again with volcanic ash blowing as high as 1,400 meters or 1.4 kilometers above the peak on Monday, April 20.
Acting Head of the Geological Agency Lana Saria, said that the eruption occurred at 05.53 Wit with a column of ash observed in white to gray with a thick intensity leaning to the east.
"This eruption was recorded on the seismogram with a maximum amplitude of 25 millimeters and a duration of 49.87 seconds," said Lana, quoted by Antara, Monday morning.
Until the report was compiled, the eruption activity at the volcano located on Halmahera Island was reported to still continue.
Currently, Mount Dukono is at Level II Status or Alert.
In connection with these activities, the Geological Agency issued a recommendation that people around the mountain and tourists should not carry out activities within a radius of 4 kilometers from the Malupang Warirang Crater.
The community around Mount Dukono and visitors or tourists are not allowed to carry out activities, climb, and approach the Malupang Warirang Crater within a radius of 4 kilometers.
In addition, volcanic ash eruptions occur periodically and their spread follows the direction and speed of the wind so that the area of the ash landing is not fixed, so the public is urged to always provide nose and mouth masks.
