TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Ibu Volcano Observation Post (PGA) in West Halmahera Regency, North Maluku reported that Mount Ibu erupted again by spewing volcanic ash as high as 1,500 meters above the peak of the mountain on Wednesday, December 25, 2024, at around 12:58 WIT (Eastern Indonesia Time).
"Eruption with an ash column as high as 1,500 meters," said Ibu PGA Post officer in West Halmahera Regency, Rivaldi Hasan in a written statement, quoted by Antara.
Rivaldi explained that the ash column was observed to be gray with thick intensity leaning towards the southeast. This eruption was recorded on a seismogram with a maximum amplitude of 28 mm and a duration of ± 3 minutes 13 seconds.
Currently, the condition of the volcano as high as 1,325 meters above sea level is still at Level III or Alert status.
Therefore, said Rivaldi, the community around Mount Ibu and tourists are asked not to do activities within a radius of 4 km and a sectoral expansion of 5.5 km towards the crater opening in the northern part of the active crater of the mountain.
"If ash rain occurs, people who do activities outside the home are advised to use masks or sub-districts, to avoid exposure to the mountain ash," said Rivaldi.
