Dramatic footage of rare volcanic lightning as Mt Sinabung spews river of fire Multiple eruptions send lava and searing gas tumbling out of the volcano in North Sumatra, Indonesia 4:01PM GMT 21 Jan 2014 Dramatic footage captured pyroclastic flow, a fast-moving current of hot gas and rock, glowing red and rare phenomenon like volcanic lighting as Mount Sinabung in Indonesias North Sumatra province erupted again on Sunday. The volcano was seen spitting clouds of gas and lava as high as 13,000 feet in several eruptions. The 8,530-foot Mount Sinabung has sporadically erupted since September. More than 26,000 villagers have been evacuated since authorities raised the alert status for the volcano to the highest level in November 2013. An eruption in 2010 killed two people and caught scientists off guard because the volcano had been quiet for four centuries. Mount Sinabung is among about 130 active volcanoes in Indonesia, which is prone to seismic upheaval due to its location on the Pacific Ring of Fire, an arc of volcanoes and fault lines encircling the Pacific Basin Related Articles Sinabung erupts 05 Jan 2014 Volcano erupts in Indonesia 05 Dec 2013 Indonesia volcano spews smoke 25 Nov 2013 Indonesia hit by volcanic eruption and tsunami 27 Oct 2010 Locals flee as Indonesia volcano erupts eight times 24 Nov 2013 Share 3K Facebook 3K Twitter 239 Email LinkedIn 0 Indonesia World News » Asia » Telegraph TV » News Video » Mobile » More Video Telegraph TV World News Asia Indonesia Related Partners The best way to transfer money overseas Share 3K Facebook 3K Twitter 239 LinkedIn 0 Ads by Google Expat in Indonesia?
