Soputan volcano (North Sulawesi, Indonesia): new eruption, tall eruption column (?)

Sunday Jul 03, 2011 10:08 AM | Age: 329 days

A strong eruption is occurring at Soputan volcano on North Sulawesi. Local news report that the volcano erupted a column of ash ("ash and smoke") of 5 km height earlier today (Sunday, 3 July). The Darwin VAAC even reports an ash plume at FL 460 (46,000 ft, ca. 14 km), which would be in fact indicating a major eruption. The ash plume is extending ca. 300 km to the west.
