Indonesia's Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki just blew its top, sending a massive ash plume so high it could be seen from nearly 100 miles away. The eruption shot towering columns of hot ash into the sky, adding to the country’s long history of volcanic activity.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just a dramatic spectacle—volcanic eruptions like this can disrupt flights, damage crops, and threaten nearby communities with ashfall and potential lava flows. Indonesia sits on the Pacific "Ring of Fire," so eruptions are common, but each one carries real risks for locals and travelers alike. If you’re in the region, keep an eye on updates—volcanoes don’t always stop at just one big show.
