Mount Ibu, an active volcano situated on the remote island of Halmahera in Indonesia, erupted on Monday morning, unleashing a violent burst of activity that propelled thick columns of gray ash several kilometers into the atmosphere. The eruption occurred at approximately 9:12 a.m. local time (00:12 GMT), lasting for approximately five minutes and sending ash high into the sky, reaching an altitude of up to 5 km (3.1 miles). A smaller eruption was also recorded a few days prior, on Friday.
