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.
