TEMPO Interactive, Lumajang:Mount Semeru again erupted yesterday morning. The Volcanic Observation Post at Mount Sawur detected smoke coming out as high as 800 meters above the rims of the Jonggring Saloka crater.
Agus Budianto, chief of Mount Semeru Emergency Response Team, said the eruption occurred at 02.13 Western Indonesian Time. The incident lasted for about five minutes. Eruptions normally range about 400 meters above the crater’s rim.
However, Agus said the incident did not automatically mean that Mount Semeru’s alert status needed changing. “There is no indication that the status of Mount Semeru will be raised,” he said.
