Indonesia's Mount Ruang volcano just after the eruption viewed from Tahulandang Island

Indonesia is one of the countries with the most significant seismic and volcanic activity in the world. This was also shown in the last days, when the Mount Ruang volcano erupted on Tuesday, April 30, 2024. It spewed more hot clouds of smoke and ash on Wednesday. Fortunately, no one was injured and to prevent this, the evacuation of the population from the surrounding villages was ordered. Indonesia is located in an area called the Pacific Ring of Fire, which is known for its high seismic activity and frequent volcanic eruptions. This area is characterized by the collision of tectonic plates, which leads to frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
