Volcano Blog: Mt. Soputan, Indonesia

JAKARTA, Indonesia — A volcano has erupted in central Indonesia, shooting clouds of smoke and flames into the night sky.

Indonesia's volcanology centre says smoke plumes up to a kilometre high are billowing from Mount Soputan on Sulawesi Island, about 2,160 kilometres northeast of Jakarta, the capital.


Photos on Google Images show Soputan to be a fairly typical stratovolcano. More info can be found here.
