Gunung Agung continues to erupt to this day.
PVMBG reported that the eruption at Agung continued during 4-10 July.
Mt Agung last erupted in 1963, causing more than 1000 deaths.
The status of Agung has been lowered from level 4 to 3.
It is unlikely that this event will trigger an eruption of Mount Agung.
The last time Mt Agung erupted was in 1963,
where 1600 people were killed.
Visitors to Bali are reminded that there is
currently a 4 km exclusion zone around Agung.
Agung might erupt,
and if so, how, is because the seismic activity in particular is constantly changing.
Mount Agung on the Indonesian island of Bali has been relatively'quiet' today in terms of eruptive activity.
The last time Mount Agung erupted- interviews with older people currently at evacuation centres,
who remember the 1963 eruption.
The second image(below), which was also posted yesterday evening,
allegedly shows the summit crater of Agung at ground level.
Mount Agung in Bali has been erupting periodically since 2017 when
a huge eruption sent ash spewing into the sky.
Those of you on Twitter may have seen some of his communications about Sinabung, Agung and other Indonesian volcanoes(see below).
Indonesian officials say Agung continues to erupt and spew
water vapour and ash between 2,000 and 3,400 metres high above the crater.
Updates and amendments will be issued via the MAGMA Indonesia website as and
when any further changes occur to Mount Agung's activity.
No new updates on Mount Agung, which is currently at Alert Level 4
due to elevated seismic activity, but has NOT(yet) erupted.
Cabinet Secretary Pramono Agung said the central government will instruct
the local authorities to shorten the process of making a business license.
Based on BNPB and PVMBG reports, the eruption at Agung continued during 6-12 December,
with high seismicity and nighttime crater incandescence often visible.
Com for a while will remember that Mount Agung on the east side of the Indonesian island of Bali
made headlines last year.
Mount Agung on the far eastern side of the Indonesian island of Bali had a small eruption around
12:50 local time on 6th July.
Agung in 1963 there was no geophysical monitoring equipment on the volcano, and
therefore no historic seismic data to compare the current activity with.
The intensity of the thermal anomaly on
29 June was the largest recorded at Agung since the beginning of the eruption on 21 November 2017.
As reported recently, the Alert Level at Mount Agung has been lowered from 4 to 3 following a reduction,
but not complete cessation, of activity.
The extent of the exclusion zones around Mount Agung are also being reduced from 9 km
and 12** km to 6 km and 7.5** km respectively.
No casualties have been reported, and there have been no new additions to the evacuation centres for inhabitants from the exclusion zones around Agung volcano.
This does not mean though that it is safe to visit the summit,
and tourists are reminded to stay outside of the exclusion zone around Agung.
With regards to visual observations of Mount Agung, steam(water vapour,
which is one of the volcanic gases) has been seen intermittently above the crater summit area.
On 5 October
PVMBG reported that the rate of volcanic earthquakes at Agung had not increased during the previous 12 days,
but continued to fluctuate at a high level.
The only site that tourists are currently being advised to avoid is Besakih Temple(see image below),
as this is within the current recommended exclusion zone around Mount Agung.
