Mount Marapi in West Sumatra, Indonesia, is showing increased volcanic activity, prompting urgent warnings from officials. With rain falling on the slopes, the risk of cold lava floods—fast-moving flows of volcanic debris mixed with water—has skyrocketed. Since the major eruption on December 3, 2023, the amount of volcanic material sitting at the summit remains unknown. Now, with back-to-back eruptions recorded this past weekend, authorities have raised the alert to Level II and are urging people to stay at least three kilometers away from the crater.
This video breaks down the latest eruption details, explains the dangers of cold lava flows, and shares vital safety recommendations for residents living near Mount Marapi. If you're in the area or tracking volcanic activity, this is a must-watch update. WooGlobe Ref : WGA565367 For licensing and to use this video, please email licensing@wooglobe.com
