TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Mount Dukono in North Halmahera Regency, North Maluku, erupted spewing ash up to 1,200 meters high, Sunday, December 1, 2024 at 08.27 Eastern Indonesian Time.
"This morning's eruption spewed ash observed to be approximately 1,200 meters above the peak of Mount Dukono," said Bambang Sugiono, an observer from the Mount Dukono Volcanic Observation (PGA) office, as quoted by Antara.
The observed ash column appears white to gray with a thick intensity tilting towards the Northwest.
Bambang stated that the eruption was recorded on the seismogram with an amplitude of 20 mm and duration of 276.93 seconds from the PGA Dukono post located in Mamuya Village, Galela Sub-district.
Currently, Mount Dukono remains at Level II alert or Alert status. Therefore, residents, visitors, and tourists are urged not to engage in activities within a three-kilometer radius from the volcano crater.
"They are prohibited from approaching or entering the Malupang Warirang Crater within the three-kilometer radius," said Bambang.
At present, according to Bambang, eruptions of Mount Dukono with volcanic ash periodically occur, and the ash dispersion follows the direction and speed of the wind. Residents around the volcano are advised to wear masks and goggles when engaging in outdoor activities.
