TEMPO.CO, Padang - Mount Marapi in West Sumatra erupted again on Saturday morning, January 4, 2025, spewing a 1,000-meter-high ash column. One of the officers at the volcano's observation post, Trian Ahmadi, recorded the eruption at 09:4.
"The ash column is observed to be gray, thick in intensity, and inclined to the north and northeast," he said in an official statement after the incident.
According to Trian, the volcano eruption was recorded on a seismogram with a maximum amplitude of 30.3 millimeters for 1 minute 40 seconds.
"The eruption is still ongoing as this report is being made," he said at 09:51, on Saturday.
He confirmed that Mount Marapi is still on alert. The monitoring team has asked locals, tourists, and climbers to stay away from the area within a 3km radius of the Verbeek crater.
People are urged to use masks covering the nose and mouth to avoid respiratory problems. People living high up in the valley and along the banks and rivers flowing from the summit of Mount Marapi are also advised to be aware of the threat of cold lava. "Especially during the rainy season," Trian said.
