Jakarta - Residents were evacuated after Mount Karangetang volcano on an eastern Indonesian island began spewing lava and hot ash, threatening a major eruption, officials said Tuesday.
There were no reports of casualties in connection with the increased activity of Mount Karangetang, the officials said.
Here is a picture from the Smithsonian's Global Volcanism Project:

Karangetang is an extremely active volcano, with many eruptions during recorded history. I would thus theorize that it has a well-developed vent and will probably erupt in a way similar to past eruptions.
