What we know so far about how the volcanic eruption is affecting travellers
The first flights carrying fresh water and other aid to Tonga finally arrived on Thursday after the Pacific nation’s main airport runway was cleared of ash left by a huge volcanic eruption.
The eruption started on September 19. Experts say it could last up to three months.
The eruption of a volcano on a Russian peninsula has attracted thrill-seeking tourists risking their lives for picturesque photos, prompting concerns in recent days from local emergency responders. The Klyuchevskaya Sopka on Kamchatka, a volcanic peninsula in Russia's Far East, is the tallest volcano in Eurasia at 4,750 metres (15,580 feet) and one of the largest active volcanoes in the world. It erupted last month on its northwestern slope, seeping lava and ejecting volcanic bombs.
Indonesia's Mount Sinabung erupts again with a string of blasts that send plumes of ash two kilometres (1.2 miles) into the sky, triggering a flight warning and fears of lava flows. This is at least the eighth time that the rumbling volcano on Sumatra island has erupted in less than a week, although there were no injures or major damage reported. IMAGES
