Oozing volcanic mud, known as lahar, blanketed numerous villages on the Indonesian island of Bali after seeping from Mount Agung’s rumbling volcano on Tuesday. The grey mud, which is a mixture of pyroclastic rock and water, flowed along rivers, streams and creeks as tens of thousands continue to evacuate from areas near the volcano. Indonesia's National Disaster Agency ordered anyone within a 10 kilometer, or 6.2 mile, radius to leave immediately, fearing a “major” eruption.
The warning for Bali’s rumbling volcano Mount Agung was raised to its highest level on Monday, leading Indonesian authorities to expand the exclusion zone to a 10 kilometer radius, or a 6.2 mile radius, widening the evacuation order to 100,000 people and closing the island’s holiday airport. Mt Agung has been spewing ash and debris into the sky for several days, but experts now fear a major eruption is imminent which could result in a natural disaster on a scale not seen for decades.
