Ibu volcano (Halmahera, Indonesia), Nov 2014: eruptions
During the volcano tour to Dukono and Ibu volcanoes in November 2014, we climbed and camped at Ibu during 12-13 Nov 2014. The volcano's activity, typical for the recent years, at moderate levels, consisted in intermittent strombolian explosions and ash emissions, accompanying very weak lava extrusion.
